Also to clarify this truck is an 1986. Someone questioned my other video where I said it’s an 85.

Thanks for the new understanding for me on the dump action. Very well done in my opinion.

Thanks. The pto on this truck engages by a cable some trucks have a toggle by air. Also the pump that raises the body runs off the transmission, so it raises faster depending on what gear you’re in. This is sometimes tricky because you want the body to raise fast but have the truck moving slow

Pumping the throttle doesn't help with a diesel, just hold it flat down. Pumping the gas only works with an old carburettor.

Guess so. I just hate giving it that much fuel. It starts good in warm weather. When it’s cold like it was on this morning it doesn’t like to wake up. Thanks for the comment

@@AppalachianRust yeah that's the good thing about old Mack's, they're usually good starters. Being a Maxidyne yours would of had a decal on the dash stating to give it full fuel while starting. Greetings from Tasmania. We had a lot of old school trucks way back when. Just bought a 6 speed r600 myself. What a rough ryder while empty!

Nice work !!! , what's the 2nd lever on the shifter for ? i know one of them works the hi and lo compound , but whats the other one do ?
@AppalachianRust 2 ай бұрын
So this truck has an air shift on the main stick for hi, lo and reverse. The column that has two short sticks is for the body controls. The stick on the passenger side is for the pto that’s engaged by a cable. The stick on the driver side engages the pump to raise and lower the body

@@ThomasSmith-fz6wq ok so in the shot in the beginning of the video that lever is a brake but it’s not a parking brake. It’s for a trailer. If you pull it while hooked to a trailer it will lock the brakes on the trailer. But it’s written on it Not For Parking. I’ve never used it other than on the road tractor when trying to free up the brakes occasionally.

Does that quarry make you empty weigh every time cause the quarrys I ran out of once they had your empty weight you only had to scale out cause they had your empty weight already 🤷♂️
@AppalachianRust 16 күн бұрын
There are 3 quarry companies close by they all do it a little differently. One will get your empty for the week one will for the day and Boxely (the big company) used to record your empty for the day but changed to EVER load

We are in central VA. A lot of our equipment has came from other states all used for the most part, and most before I began to work. The two Allis Chalmers HD11 and HD6 were bought new by my Grandfather. This truck originally came from Tennessee I believe. Couple scrapers from NC and one from Tennessee.
