That truck brings back memory’s. Drove a R700 Tri axle dump truck in the 80s paving i95 at night. Back when truck drivers were real men Love those old Mack’s
Love the old Macks!! These were the trucks I was cutting my teeth on when I first started working on trucks for a living in 90. Have seen alot of changes over 30 plus years, still love the old iron! Didnt need a computer. Just basic tools and common sense!
Best exhaust note I ever heard from a truck was one of these with a straight through pipe dumping sideways just in front of the rear axle. I was following it up a steep grade through a cut in the hill and the turbo whistle, coupled with the reverberation from the exhaust bouncing off the side of the hill, was truly eargasmic. When we reached a clear stretch of road I pulled out and passed the guy and noticed he was wearing heavy duty earmuffs, LOL.
What's up trucker Joe, I am liking the Mack truck. There's nothing like an older Mack truck. Can't wait to see the finished product, so take your time and do it right. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming, catch you on the next one.
Thank you! I agree there's nothing like them! And I definitely will be doing it right. I want to be able to enjoy it when it goes out. I'll do my best, you do the same and stay safe, see ya on the next one mark
I use to operate a Mack DM. MACK in my opinion is the best trucks out there. Your R700 is gorgeous. You are blessed to have that. By the way, few people know how to operate splits and manuals. I ran lumber trucks and concrete trucks all over the Rockies including the continental divide. I trained drivers as well for the company… lots of turn over. Regardless, have fun.
Drove R model Macks Superliners RD and CH Macks in my logging years but I think a clean decked out R model is my favorite. I envy you but then I don't cause you have one hell of a project there. For a 5 speed I bet that sucker has got some torque. Keep doing what you are doing and take it one step at a time. Good luck from an old log hauler...
Macks and Brockways hold a special spot for me. I got a chance to ride in Superliner powered by a 700 hp 998ci V8. 136k felt like 80k on a regular truck.
@Only4Trucks gotta tell you, it's like riding in a locomotive powered by an ALCO or EMD V16 turbodiesel. Same thump, same low resonance sound. Are you going to keep the 865ci V8 or swap in something else with better parts availability? The boat folks still run the marinized E9s, but they are not cheap. I like the V8s but doing a rebuild on any of the systems is silly expensive unless you have connections.
That reminds me of the day I brought home my old 68 Mack Cabover she was an old mine truck out of GoldField Nv, she started on ether at the old mans house , and that V8 Mack has such a distinct sound, quadraplex trans, twin stick, single axle rear end, loud azz wig wag indicator, ceramic clutch, no power anything, it was fun to learn how to drive truck on that (a few years ago) . I did have to get the massive remy starter rebuilt but she ran strong, shouldnt have sold that one.
I'm very happy and excited for you and your new project. I know this is going to bring a lot of new viewers to your channel. Can't wait to see it finished and cruising down the highway!
Thank you for watching! I think the R model was top candidate for construction and heavy haul! I agree they sound amazing. I appreciate you! See you on the next one
I have a '75 R700 equipped identical to yours. I went through your thread for some fuel system pointers. Mine ran perfect and then suddenly one day wouldn't pull fuel. Was hoping you'd have found your smoking gun. Love the Gold Dogs! That blue one is a real beauty with that vintage lowbed. Actually everything you folks have going on is pretty sweet!
Sweet man! I will definitely get it going here soon and I'll try to teach you all I can! Yea man Tony's truck is beautiful! I really appreciate that! Thank you for watching!
Small fuel pump on side of eng block.old cloth covered hoses.change all suction side hoses.there is a hose behind injection pump.you can't get off.get a new hose zip tie to old hose.those hoses suck air.you will see the fuel filters low on fuel
That's where I'm at right now. All new lines made up this week. Noticed some were weeping going over to the filter. Figured they were all bad. Thanks much!
Back in 06 I worked for Stettler county, they had the twin to that truck, it was a 72 super clean. They hauled equipment with it. I had never seen a 700 before especially with a v8. Just found your channel 👍
Now that’s funny. I ran out of that yard driving for Cunningham up until May.. I know all the guys. Hopefully you got a tour of some of the stuff that was there. It’s a Goldmine..
@AreaDieselService gets a lot of love from other RUclips channels. Diesel Creek has used them a couple times and Clint over at C&C Equipment uses them for his business regularly. Price is one of the downsides to playing with the big toys, even the cheap repairs ain't very cheap.
Good morning Brother Love the Truck & Ideas Congrats woood Love Wrench on it with y'all in a life with more time away from work im a plumber 40 years built run HD ,& Chevy just revived a 80 K20 Great to Be around them again If i see You on see you in distress ill stop by Lakehurst base work all over dirty Jersey Take Care Man
That’s a very cool truck. The perfect dimensions and setup if you ask me. Just the right WB to compliment the long hood. With a paint job I think it would look so much better. 2 stacks, maybe a chrome bumper, fenders and right on the road
Nice good luck man. I'll enjoy seeing how this goes. We've got two, one around a 74 with a six speed the other is a 71 I believe, with a 5 speed. The 71 has a stuck rack in the fuel pump. Its stuck open. The last time we tried starting it, it wanted to fly wide open and Dad had to choke the air intake to stall it. so keep that in mind. Don't want her to run away
Thank you! That's awesome, we were prepared just in case and we have learned about of what we can do to check and free up the rack so we will be doing that here soon! I appreciate you watching!
my dad was in the North Jersey chapter of the ATCA and as a kid we would go to the Amaducci brothers garage and have a meet. this was back in the early 80s, but the big meet was always in macungie pa
I worked outta Kitchells yard, Pioneer Trucking on Parsippany road in Whippany, NJ for a few years. Parsippany road runs between rt 287 and rt 10. That's a pretty good old Mack. I guess I'll get a shirt one day.
When I was in school the teacher had me pick out a good truck for us students to learn on so I picked out a 74 R750st v-8 positive ground and the school still has it to this day! Sweet video new subscriber here now 😂
Ztr pump repair in richland is a good place to go and he isnt too far from you. I have used him a couple times for tractors. He deals with tractor diesel pumps mostly but i wouldnt see why he wouldnt do a truck pump. They are mostly the same if parts can be found or machined. Not super expensive but i guess depends on the pump. If i had a test stand id help you out but i dont. Just an injector pressure tester. Tach is that cable on the front you showed. I second the motion on the dust cover being the threaded hole that someone else said. I can look in my manual to see if I can find a image of that plug. I have 3 old mack manuals and the one shows the 865 v8. The pages for that are well used and apparently who had the manual before had done quite a few of them.
I had one of those but fitted with a 5 speed/splitter 10sp. With a 2nd gear leaver for an extra 2 granny gears. So 12 sp. Had 6.34 rears if I recall for heavy hall. Fitted 4.17 , it would do 100mph.
Well know you have the experience after working and stripping down the other R model. Great to see things have got you your own rig Joe. The merch looks sweet
I think that hole in the pump just gets a dust plug in it. A pump part screws in and a plug goes in after it. The tach usually threads into a 90 deg angle drive that is bolted near the front of engine.
@Only4Trucks definitely. Be glad to help brother.. Your R700 has a great look. I noticed it has mack western tanks but the rest of it looks like a east coast R700. Looking forward to more videos of it.
When you get the pump back study up on the timing procedure. Some Macks like the E6 350s need to be timed by injector bleed--not just by timing marks.Don't know if that applies to 866 V8s Find an old Mack guy to help
I was wondering where you went Joe. Excellent pick up on the R. I wore your shirt to the Brockway show yesterday and quite a few people asked about it. One guy asked if I was you..
Good to see you back Joe, got to admit, I was getting a little worried about you, I thought maybe you'd done something stupid, like set yourself alight again, sorry mate, I couldn't resist, but again it's good to see you back, are you thinking of painting this black and maybe putting a sleeper on the back, with a big air dam on top, just a thought, keep up tye great work my friend. 🇬🇧
When you had the cap off the back of the governor, did the rack move freely?? It started on fuel, didn't it? That damn pump is expensive. I know where there are some that were rebuilt years ago and never installed, but I'll bet he wants a lot for them.
The basic parts we could see moved freely but I couldn't necessarily see the rack. But I was told to check behind two front caps and I can possibly tap there to free them up so that's my next plan of attack. I appreciate you and that's awesome you know of a hidden gem like that!
I know a guy in Sandown, New Hampshire who he and brother ran Truck Service for decades. One is still the best old Mack mechanic I've known. I don't know if he knows your channel but I'm going to reach out to him and see if I can pass his contact info along to you. There is nothing in an old Mack he can't fix. .
@@Only4Trucks I'll get back to you with his contact. It's probably best to not put his number for all to see. I could email you his info if you'd like to give me that. .

You definitely don't see too many ENDT 865 V9's around anymore If i remember correctly Mack didn't make too many of them......don't quote me on that though

I think that hole in the pump just gets a dust plug in it. A pump part screws in and a plug goes in after it. The tach usually threads into a 90 deg angle drive that is bolted near the front of engine.

@Only4Trucks definitely. Be glad to help brother.. Your R700 has a great look. I noticed it has mack western tanks but the rest of it looks like a east coast R700.

You have to free up the pump on top of the engine, remove the to cover and work that value loose then it will get fuel.

@@Only4Trucksyou’re welcome 🙂
She's a good looking old girl.
Thank you!
I have the same 5th wheel on my 73 r model
Nice!!! I'm not alone lol
350 Mack with a nine speed
I would like a 9 speed
it should Start right up once you put fresh fuel in her
Absolutely!!!!
It hard to find old Mack trucks
Id be funny to shorten the frame as short as possible and turn it into a drag truck
That would be sweet!
If you have a mack you may have a positive ground system
Most Macks up to 75/76 were positive ground
Yes that's what I figured as well just couldn't figure it out on the fly so we bypassed it lol
That truck has higher payload capacity than any modern truck. America went backwards instead of forward.
Hahaha for sure!
Try area diesel they do colabs with diesel creak and scrappy industries might do one with you
Alot of people have said that! Might have to reach out!
those old macks were positive ground , that may be why a no start
It is a positive ground
I got a 74 RL700L I’m going to do up. It has the 6speed and same motor
That's awesome! Best of luck with it! Hope to see it one day!
Saw a complete running Mack here in VA. on marketplace for 2,000. No title, parts truck it said.
Wow that sounds like a good deal!
You definitely don't see too many ENDT 865 V9's around anymore If i remember correctly Mack didn't make too many of them......don't quote me on that though
I agree definitely a little rare! I hope to learn alot more about them in the near future!
@@Only4Trucks whoops i just now realized i typed "V9" instead of V8....I must've been tired....also is it Turbocharged or N/A? I couldn't see if there was one
Im guessing it is feul pressure gauge mate im not sure but I look at where you were so im thinking it’s it
I ended up plugging it
I have a 1973 R700 also with a V8. I dragged it out of a field. Got it running good. Let me know if I can help with any info. 👍
Wow that's awesome! I will definitely if I have some questions!!! Hope to meet you one day!
Where did you find that beautiful truck
