That’s pretty noble of you to give that old truck a second life!! It’s amazing it is such good shape!! Usually anything sitting around that long usually has the glass broke out by boneheads. Love to see her when you get her restored!! Thank you for sharing!!
New brakes... new rubber and rims... beef up the motor [definitely a new Turbo, gaskets... bearing surfaces maybe]... This truck is BEAUTIFUL!! It will scare people out of it's way but they'll be scared with love for it lol NOICE TRUCK!! Keep posting updates!
My father had two of these back in the 1950’ s . One was orange with a flat bed and the other all silver with a dump body. I seem to recall him calling them RJs or LJs , I don’t know if that was the model or a nickname. They both had what looked like tiny toilet bowls on the dash wher you would put what was called Either Eggs in, the lid when closed popped the egg and it helped start them in winter. I learned to drive in them around the farm. You didn’t even need the clutch from a dead stop when empty in Lo-Lo ... He gave them both away in 1960 and I know they worked well into the 70’s...... good luck, a great find!
Long haul trucking was in its infancy, most of the trucking was regional point to point. That is how long distance freight moved, things like lobster were probably very rare in places like Nebraska because it would rot before it made it from Maine. A lot of shit was probably rare if it was available regionally.
You have a good cutting job still ahead of you. My REO was covered in vines and one tree growing up through the grill, but still had to pull it out with a 6x6 dump truck. Take your air compressor, chains & tools as such. Hope you have extra hands as well. Keep us posted!
1940-1953 - Mack produced marine engines for many years. "The Mariner" engines were used in yachts, pilot and work boats. The ENDM 405 (FW) was produced from 1940-1941; a total of 16 engines were manufactured. PUTS HER AT 5 TONS
Look at the seat bolster, passenger side. You should find a data plate identifying the VIN number and year. You should find that it is a 50 to 53 year. I am currently restoring a 53 A-40 and understand that only a little over 2000 A-40 units ever made with just over 7500 A models ever made from all three year production, making the A's one of the most rare Mack's made. Nice to have a rare Mack and makes them all the more interesting, but it also makes them the most difficult to restore back to originality. But what a blast when you finally find that part you have been looking for for so long. Enjoy the build.
@@johnmclean9690 Page? Not sure what you asking about. The A's are rare and hard to find specific parts, not sharing much with the B's. I have been over two years gathering all the chrome parts that are in good enough shape for re-chroming. Items like the very small "A-40" emblem that mounts under the MACK emblem on the hood. The MACK badge on the nose under the dog is hard to find as it looks like the same one from the B, but it is not. It is about 2 inches more narrow. I have heard that the strip between the dog and the MACK badge is all but impossible to find. Fortunately mine was good enough to re-chrome. Happy to share any information I have learned with another A model owner who is rebuilding one. It really helps speed up a build when you know someone who has already been there and done it.
It held up pretty well for sitting there for fourty years. I just recently went to a truck salvage yard and a lot of them sat 20 or 30 years and were rotted into the ground. And half of them didn't have an engine or trans.
Awesome vintage Mack, don't know how long your video has been out, sure hope you have the Mack out of the woods by now, I will subscribe, I'd really like to follow this project.
I thought this truck video seemed familiar...I just saw episode 2 and had to get to this one...had seen this about a year ago. It’s 2021...need even more on this back woods find. Did you get it out? My REO took longer than expected, but it was so worth it.🤩
I know a lot about the old Mack's. From judgment. The cab is an A model cab with an L-LJ front end. Most likely the engine for that trucks has a 401 Flathead. It's a continental design but Mack sold them as their own. If you can give me the tag number should be on the passenger door can tell you a lot about the truck. You can even send the number to PA and Mack will tell you everything from when and what it was equip from factory, they call it a "line sheet" or "build sheet". The transmission is actually small duplex most likely which is a 5 main and a 2 auxiliary. They made them with a quadruplex as well which could that as well and that would have a 5 main and 4 auxiliary. I can go on an on about them.
They had gasoline engines in the very first ''Cherry picker '' model. There's a guy in Australia that has a large Mack collection and got one restored a few years ago. The only one like it in the world.
Looks like an interesting project but with some spark plugs out and open holes to the cylinders don't get your hopes up in it ever running without a major rebuild or total engine replacement.
Engine is a Mack EN331. Later models also had an EN401 which is a possibility if the engine was ever replaced. As far as I remember they were almost a bolt in swap
It looks to be factory far as I can tell, from what I was told it was a cement truck, when they weren't using it anymore they cut the mixer off and parked it here.
Hi good luck with the Mack I have a 1940 EE Mack I've been working on longer then I would care to say. The E series was built between 36-51. The cab fenders and doors are the same. The good and radiator she'll are different. The motor in the A model should me Mack made. One thing I would suggest is when you get the serial number you contact the Mack truck museum. With a small donation they will send you a copy of the original build sheet for your chassis # and who the truck was originally sold to and possibly a maintenance manual. They may also be able to put you in touch with people to help you find parts also. Again good luck if I can help you feel free to contact me
@@MikeGuy993 your very welcome Any help I can give you to get her back up and running I'll be more then happy to do I'm not sure where you are located but there is a truck show in Allentown PA on Father's day weekend that I would recommend and there are 2 truck clubs Antique truck club of America Antique truck historical society Check them out
Like the video. Am interested. You start the video then cut to months latter. Why say your going to cut trees and yet you don't finish cutting trees. but get more pics from inside the truck and it still doesn't move. It's January is there a part 2?
That is correct. They will do it for no charge as well. Great resource. They will sometimes send other sales or service literature that they have on file.
Kudos for wanting to save the ol girl. Don't take this as an insult but your knowledge (gas v diesel) might be a little short so here's a little friendly advice from a truck mechanic. It has air brakes so the rear maxi-cans will be locked on & you will need caging bolts to unload them. There is usually one stored on each brake can but if they're not there, any truck shop should have some used ones hanging around. Once you've caged them you might have to beat the slack adjusters back to rotate the S cams to release the brakes. Only the double chamber cans are maxi's & there will be at least two on the back axles. If you can't cage them, the other option is to cut the pushrod but be aware they are under a LOT of spring pressure. Cutting the pushrod with a cut-off disc will grab the disc & that can hurt you BAD! A cutting torch is the safest way to cut them. The only other way is to "evenly" undo the 15/16 nuts holding them down but do it with a ratchet or long wrench so you can keep your hands out of there when it pops back. A two-stick truck probably has a Brownie trans.
Thank you for this information! I will definitely be following these procedures, I took a screenshot of your reply so I will have it when I am back there
MikeGuy993 Mate us Aussie guys like to ridicule our kiwi (New Zealand) cousins ( was going to write take the piss but didn’t think it would translate) but I can tell you that they are bloody talented at repair and restoration of stuff.
I don’t mean to step on anyone’s toes ..Odds are as old as this truck is, that it doesn’t have maxi cans on it... can’t remember for sure when they came into use, but seems to me it was late ‘60s - early’70s. So unless it was refitted sometime in its latter years it has “ pancake” breaks.. meaning no air, no breaks... good luck with your project...
@@jimackerman5323 No worries Mate, i wear steel toe boots.;-) Most working trucks were updated but that's why I referenced "double chamber" in case it had been a yard mule.
You have an a40 Mack there. It should have air brakes. The motor is an en377 Mack engine. It is 377 cubic inches and truly built by Mack not continental or anyone else. The transmission is a 10 speed duplex Mack. The stick closest to you is 5 speeds and the second stick is a high and low. It is in the transmission not the rear ends. It most likely does not have spring brakes, it is too old. Look on eBay for a motor truck repair manual from the 50’s. It will have a lot of the information you need. That truck is rarer than hens teeth. You will be looking far and wide for parts. I know I do. I did an a40 over, and am still in the process.
Good to see a fellow Mack truck mechanic (now every mechanic is called a technician) your right about the brakes unless they were updated (doubt it ) did you notice there wasn't any lock down buttons in the cab and also had the old style air wipers mounted overhead in the cab? some came with the cable brake this one didn't have it in the cab.(works off drive line on back of the trans.)retired now but repaired a lot of the old thermodine trans.still some out there at the time (back in the 70' and 80's )did a lot of the quadroplex trans in dump trucks. Damn things weighed a ton compared to the maxitorque trans.did a lot of the newer models too.good to see people still getting the old ones running.lot of the old firetrucks were macks with gas engines.
i grew up in allentown pa , and the mack factory was about one mile from my house. mack built everything except the tires so they could control quality control. everything had to be built to macks specs. the engine was mack, they still make engines and some of the lobester boats here in maine have big mack engines in them. i love the older mack trucks. good luck. there is a guy here in rockport maine on medow street that restores mack trucks, his place is called the dog house, he is just off rt one. if you get back to me , i will send you his address and try to get his phone number for you
Mack also has a free museum located in the former R&D building. We were there about 10 years ago and had a personal tour conducted by a retired salesman. www.macktruckshistoricalmuseum.org/
just soak it all in liquid wrench freshen up fuel hoses points belts batteries check brakes and lines plug wires clean carb check for shorts and if none she should roll out good find 👍
I 'm pretty sure the engine is a Mack, possibly an EN291 or EN 331 or EN337. I saw a site that listed companies which utilized Continental engines and Mack was not on the list. You only show one side of the engine in your video. Have a look at the link below and the other side of your engine and see if it matches. In the video, I see a water manifold/thermostat housing with 2 hoses that looks like the one in the link. Mack, to the best of my knowledge, always built their own engines. I know in the 70's you could get just about any engine you wanted, Cummins, Cat, Detroit. Mack used to build the entire truck from cab to engine to transmission to differentials. They even built the water pumps for the fire trucks they produced. blog.consumerguide.com/photo-feature-950-mack-a20/
I had a 1958 b 75 it had a wooden floor .262 Cummins 2 stick 48 inch sleeper. I had to sell it wife got sick had to pay bills. You have to put first things first
Take it a step at a time think twice then act , its got great bones it may take time but I m sure you will get it back on the road . There are truck clubs and other collectors who will help with advice and information if asked . One source would be American Truck Historic Society
Son, it has spark plugs. Therefore, it is not a diesel. Back then, Mack had a massive 707ci gas engine. It's probably that. I don't know if Mack ever used a Continental gas engine.
Mack used to make their own gas engines, could be an early Mack Gasser, definitely not a cummins, due to spark plugs and distributor, cummins no make gas engine
Flat head for sure. Most gas stuff, sidelined in the 70's, was because of fuel consumption. Diesels being a lot more economical, that is before they boutiqued the fuel prices! Cheers

Great to see you're trying to preserve some history Mike! Good luck!
I recently saved my grandfather's 1930s mack. Not as bad of a situation as yours though, great job.
Good job I hope you save it .it is a piece of history
Need to save that tree piece in the frame adds to the history
Get it out and get it running. You got my sub, can't wait to see more videos of this ole Mack
My guess for the engine is that it is a Continental gas based on the fact that the distributor bolts down thru the head
I have a 57 Chevrolet 6400 series. It has the long horn bed which is 12 feet long and 7 1/2 feet wide. Keep us updated love the big trucks.

hi mike, that engine is a MACK 707 inline 6 gas job engine!
No it isn’t, it’s a 405 flathead the 707 only came in the LF or LJ and was an overhead valve engine
that a flat head 6 cylinder gas engine and it could possibly be a mack gas engine

That appears to be an EN 401 gas engine, Mack designed and built. Although and EN 330 was avail. the 401 is most common.

Great project I'd say but a good one maybe take a battery powered sawzall after you fell the tree to cut the stumps out
Tandem axle A models are fairly rare from what i know, unless it was done after production
It looks to be factory far as I can tell, from what I was told it was a cement truck, when they weren't using it anymore they cut the mixer off and parked it here.
I agree, the A's were mostly built with single drivers and were an attempt by Mack to make a medium duty truck for the market.
@@MikeGuy993when I was a kid A models were very common as cement mixers then pretty much fazed out when the B model came out
That's not a Cummins, my guess would be a Mack gasoline engine. A great project!!

Flatheads can’t produce enough compression to run diesel. Definitely gas.

Regarding Maxi brakes, first one I saw was about 1964.
Just cut a section at the bottom of the frame and leave the tree !! That would be awesome pulling down the road or Driving it down the road !!!
Get the numbers off it and the mack museum will give the build sheet and its first sale Allentown pa .

I know in the 70's you could get just about any engine you wanted, Cummins, Cat, Detroit. Mack used to build the entire truck from cab to engine to transmission to differentials. They even built the water pumps for the fire trucks they produced.

Thats a early 50's Mack A model
Are you on Facebook? If so post it in the group Steel Dash Mack's!
I had a 1958 b 75 it had a wooden floor .262 Cummins 2 stick 48 inch sleeper. I had to sell it wife got sick had to pay bills. You have to put first things first
Take it a step at a time think twice then act , its got great bones it may take time but I m sure you will get it back on the road . There are truck clubs and other collectors who will help with advice and information if asked . One source would be American Truck Historic Society
Thank you very much, I really appreciate the information
Part two please
Good old flate head 6
Son, it has spark plugs. Therefore, it is not a diesel. Back then, Mack had a massive 707ci gas engine. It's probably that. I don't know if Mack ever used a Continental gas engine.
I have learned a lot since my time with the Mack, here's to hoping with a little soaking, and a lot of luck it won't be froze up
707 was an overhead Valve engine and only used in the LF and LJ models
Yep your right it's a gas tractor they where slower then shit. 510 A30
its got a gas engine in it eh
One thing for sure you won’t find a Volvo that old ever
Well, you might in Sweden.
Seed_drill probably not
Mack used to make their own gas engines, could be an early Mack Gasser, definitely not a cummins, due to spark plugs and distributor, cummins no make gas engine
510 cubic inch mack gas engine in that tank
Don't ya just hate it when nature makes you work for it...
Part 2
That definitely not a Cummins
lol she is beauty
Flat head for sure. Most gas stuff, sidelined in the 70's, was because of fuel consumption. Diesels being a lot more economical, that is before they boutiqued the fuel prices!
Cheers
They say Diesel engines can sit for years & still roll over. Idk.
