    I love seeing old equipment still out there getting the job done. I often wonder how old it is, it's story... Just somethin' about it. Maybe my old freightliner wore off on me a little too much lol... indestructo!

    Congrats.
    Also if you are anywhere it gets cold for months at a time, the way those plastic lines are stretched they will snap at the worst possible time. I suggest replacing with rubber airlines before winter.

    Yes they do. Especially in severe cold weather.

    I keep compression couplings just for that reason. If it doesnt break off at the end of the coupler,.. it blows a leak in the middle somewhere.

    I spoke with my cousins husband at the KW, Volvo, Mack dealer just 2 miles from me. He said he could try and help you if he can find info going back that far with Volvo. If you want to try just PM me and I will give you the number and his name.
