I owned a 1978 Classic for 10 years. The 555 ran well , sounded great but struggled in the hills. The 555 was quite common in agricultural equipment. If the 555 failed I would have considered retrofitting a newer engine. If I remember correctly the final drive ratio favored a V8 engine rather than an inline 6. I considered the Ford/ navistar 7.3 or GM Duramax. There are parts available and the modern turbochargers can be modified for more power.
My Newell had “wedge style” brake actuators. When I rebuilt I converted to “S cam” actuators. That requires changing the brake backing plates and hardware which can be purchased from a truck salvage yard. I would highly recommend that upgrade. “S cam” are more robust and easier to obtain parts.
Where are the walls “soft” ?
