My brother has a 1964 B873SX with 65,000lb(6 spoke) rears and my boss has a 1965 B873SX with 80,000lb/8 spoke rears, with air over hydraulic wedge brakes.

1964 B873SX

1965 B873SX

Later 80K rears were available with full air wedge brakes.

There was a dump truck operator here in Central NJ who had a B815 tandem dump with a Mack V8 and an Allison Auto from the factory. The truck is still around, but the engine has been replaced with a 300, I believe.

John can you answer me this , this truck had spring susp. with 80,000 rears , i thought all 80,000 rears would have had solid walking beam susp. or is this something someone did on there own

those 8 spoke rears are 80,000 lb rears , also if you noticed it had juice brakes on the rear axles another trait for the 80,000 lb Mack rears

I was at the auction here are some pics, there were 2 of these monsters from Hallamore , one had a cummins , the other was much newer with a e9 and a 12 speed i took that one for a ride it had a 8 axle step deck on it

where did you find this ad ?

The END 864 had a 255 HP. rating at 2300 RPM639ft.lb. torque @1700 RPM. ENDD 864 had 237 HP @2000RPM 685 ft.lbs. torque @1400 RPM. Joe D.

What were the torque specs of the endt 866 ? Brian

That should be a ENDT866 375 HP V8 if it's a DM 897.

.

i wasnt positive if it was a 865 or a 866 thanks for clearing that up what was the difference between the 3 of them i think one was twin turbo right

I found a 1974 Dm897sx heavy hauler, triple frame , 65 rears 23 front, winch, cab is fair to rough cond. frame has only very minor spreading in the back , orig. 865 v8 and 12 speed, runs good. The owner knows I want it, because I hunted him down to find out if he'll sell it, of course he goes "go check it out again and make me a offer" . Whats would you guys say is a fair price for it?? I had the $5,000 to $6,000 range in mind what you think

If anyone needs me to check it out for them let me know I live 15 mins for where this truck is located.

I may be interested in the 12 speed if it is an o/d unit.

Hey B66 , i was wondering if I can come down and view the Mahan collection or if theres a Phone number i can get some info about it thanks Brian

just wondering whos museum has the b87sx your talking about DM ???

I have seen many B873's, the early ones had the low cast tops, the other 4 or 5 i have seen that had the tall steel tops were like 1965's i.e. maybe they figured more capacity, i have only seen 1 true B87sx with the nhrs supercharged cummins, it was like a 1963 and it had the cast top and yes i regret not buying it every day hope this helps

i looked at a 1991 or 1992 in pa that had a 18 sp mack in it not sure if it was origional or what but it was in there

i drive 1 every day and have found by just giveing the clutch a quick tap half way down while spliting down will solve this and you will be able to split down with out a peep

Hey guys I drove by a local junk yard today here in Seymour, CT and sitting there is a fair cond. B61 10 wheeler not sure of any details because they were closed but it looked very restorable , its at Daddio's auto parts in Seymour CT right along RT 8 exit 21 (203) 735-8649

I wish you a lot of luck on finding one. My B8136 had one, and over the past 4 years I have yet to find one. the only person that I know that hashad one on a truck one is Ed Kaserman. His wife told me that he sold the truck a few years ago. I do have a print and an operations manual but absolutley no luck in finding one. You could get them eighter in an axle-mount or a mid-mount configuration.

Just wondering if you could post the print or email it to me , just want to see what looked like and how it worked thanks Brian -Bad1989gt1@aol.com

I am in the procees of buying a B87sx tractor the owner told me it had a Thompson retarder on it but it was removed 30 plus years ago because it didnt work well , so i dont even know what it was or how it worked , he did say it was hydraulic and the control is still on the steering colum same as a trolly brake valve, he did say it mounted on the rear axle any info or if any has 1 forsale please let me know thanks in advance Brian

I found a B87 with oil field bed on it in WV last week. Sitting in a truck repair joint all fenced in. Pretty sad looking piece, but usable.

Place was locked up tight, and can't find phone number using internet. Can't find address either(pretty lame huh?). It was at Rt 21 and Rt 77 in WV, right behind fuel stop on NE side of highway.

thanks freighttrain just a a lil to far for me to got on a hunt for I am in CT , plus i really want a tractor thanks again Brian

i have a good pic of a mint 1968 dm837sx interrior i just cant post it so reply with your email and ill send it to you later Brian

Got any photos of this beast?

no sorry , didnt have my camera , i will say it it must run, motor looks very good , cab rough and rest of body rough, but very very good other than body

I was driving around on RT1 in Milford CT and found a very good parts or restore B81sx it is a cememt truck , now but it has a triple frame , non turbo mack i beleive a 711, 58 or 65 rears, 20 sp. , has good condition air tag , cab is rough, frame has very little rust and only a tiny bit of spreading in the last foot of the frame, just figured someone here could use it , the phone number on the window was (203)874-1618, no price on it ,at Beard cement rt1 Milford Ct

I also have seen Bob Dennis hauling a 300 yutani excavator thru Seymour/ Oxford on rt67 a lil while back it , its sweet to see that monster comming at you the heck with the new stuff, I've been told its got later powerplant in it . Brian

you probably know M.Harding from Quebec. He got one B-87 freshly restored. He got a B-81 2 axle and a B-8?? it's the big towing with the front driving axle. sure there's nothing for sale but maybe he know if another one exist...

yea I have seen him listed on the b model registery , have tried emailing him but he never replies, thats half my problem finding people that will part with them , I have found 3 , 1 in ny , 1 in pa , and 1 in ct , all that the owners won't part with , I will just continue the hunt thanks for the reply , and the truck you were talking about with the front drive is a B8136sx later Brian

I know i have posted this before here but I am still on the hunt for a B87sx or B873sx heavy haul tractor in any condition . I am from Connecticut and have heard stories of a few forsale in Mass but I cant seem to have any luck so maybe some the the new members my have a lead for me thanks Brian
