Brockway Trucks Message Board

Jon----It has my seal of approval ! Tubing was the right natural color .

Good to see the younger generation step up , Thanks Paul !

Sounds like the Devil is part of the younger generation that can't talk without using 4 letter words . Wash your mouth !

Kyle------------Darn nice combination ...............It would be a shame to just let that trailer set where not many would see it !

I had passed the information on to John so he could post the pictures for Al Kaefer, [who is a friend of a friend]. We talked in terms of a possible fair price at less than scrap value to a collector who might rescue the old jewel , and clean up the environment . How about $1500.00 or offers ?

Who's the guru in charge of the stuff donated for the Friday night auction ? I picked up 3 pallets of Brockway parts yesterday at O.K. Brugman Ready Mix in Mantua,Ohio , then delivered them to Dan Schaefer's in North Lima, kinda figuring he'll be defending his slow truck title . 1 pallet had 3 compl...

John ----On one of the many roads I've taken between Penn Yan and Geneva over the years , I remember a Brockway 2 axle tractor setting on a farm on a county road . One of these days I'll have to see what's left of it .

That's an aftermarket universal electric operator for a standard window regulator . We'd install them when I worked at IHC Akron in the late '80s . Seems they were less than 100 bucks .

6-71T would have 5" exhaust, but darn sure wouldn't be pulling a Michigan train .

Porn was not a problem and never has been in the 7 years or so that I've been active . But the general manager seems to want to micro manage everything .............An ongoing problem for years !

That was Donaldson's large truck version of "ram air" ,kind of a take off of Chrysler's tuned intake runners . If you had a dial restriction guage in the cab,you could see running down the highway that restriction would drop and ,of course,efficiency increase . It would also help get more ...

162 plus or minus .

I'll be there Wednesday noon till Saturday afternoon with my Husky off a hood panel . Camping on the grounds . I'll wear my Detroit straw hat if not too windy,otherwise a Detoit ball cap . Hope I remember to see and hear the presentation !

Lud-----Did you find the flywheel and clutch you're looking for ? If not,it's helpful to know if you need an SAE #2 or #1 ,also if it's for a pull type or push type clutch .

Emery------I'm gonna set up details on a Detroit Diesel ID class,and hope to sign you up ! We'll go over basics like Alpine green paint,silver paint ,53,71 and 92 series ID clues ! We'll cover more clues like the model #s and serial #s . It's a 12V71 Detroit Diesel...........Please excuse my old man...

Mike-----It needs to be a cast iron #1 housing with 6 bolt mounting pads at 5 and 7 o'clock . Paul has one mount to verify the hole spacing . Some IHCs may have a #1 housing with a #2 flywheel , I believe for the starter to clear the rear hanger of a front spring . This combination moves the starter...

Paul-----Struck out on the housing today , the one I have is similar to yours wth cast iron SAE # 1,and high mounting pads above the crank center line . Did find a governor cover,but not the governor yet . Time to send out an SOS for some V71 stuff,including a flywheel for 15.5"Spicer clutch an...

Dave-----Not understanding what you mean by Stevens .

Mike ----- That's all they need for just one gear ...............you know they run just as good backward as forward !

Who can post a picture of Dave's factory photo ?
