    Any advantages to M105a2 over M1101/2 besides price?

    There is a third alternative to consider. It is the M105A3. It is an all steel 1.5-ton trailer with surge brakes. They were made in the late 1990s to about 2005. They have 10 x 22.5 tires plus a spare and a screw jack like those found on the M1101 and 1102 trailers. The original jacks are...

    Just purchased an M54A1

    Macks with the ENDT-673 engine were built from 1959 thru 1966. If you have a 1975 dataplate, it is a rebuild. It will have the latest and final mods to the ENDT-673 engine. It turns 220 horsepower. The Spicer direct-drive transmissions were upgraded to five-speed with overdrive. The steering...

    M1028 gear ratio swap input

    Gear Vendors has a great overdrive kit. Not Cheap at $2,600 but bullitproof. the 3600rpm becomes 2600. The 700r4 has its place but issues must be addressed. One might want to add aftermarket cooling. Also, timing is critical. For my money and needs, I went with the Gear Venders overdrive kit on...

    One day you will discover there is an M54A1 truck powered by a Mack ENDT-673 turbo diesel. The later ones run at 220 HP, ovedrive transmission, power steering. I have been working on a cab off restoration since 2015. All it needs is new paint, trim decals, and its done. Its my last truck. Mack...

    M52A1 paint job

    Here is the rig that I think looks the best with your M52A2 Tractor. This is my 1970 M818 pulling an M127A1C trailer. The tractor only had 749 miles and 37 hours when I purchased it nine years ago. I have a little over 2,800 miles on it now. It makes a fine hay wagon and a good all around turnip...

    M52A1 paint job

    The reason I asked about the engine in your 1967 truck is Mack had the contract from 1959-1966. Thereafter, the multi-fuel engine was used. The Macks when overhauled kept the Mack ENDT-673 engine with the latest updates to it. I have a 1965 M54A1 with an overhaul in 1975. During the overhaul in...

    roof mounted cab AC

    I looked into the roof mounted AC units several years ago. There were a few 24-volt models. I only looked at the units with all system devices mounted in the rooftop unit. I determined that a rubber mat under the unit and and additional cab insulation were necessary. The price range was in the...
