  1. My 1986 RD688s tri-axle dump. E6 350 4v with an 8LL trans 4.42 rears Trim Level III interior
  2. in our part of the world we need 5 chains on a skid steer like that , one one each corner and one one the bucket. They say if it is quick attach, like that one will be, it needs to be tied down. ……Extreme in my opinion……. but I would certainly have chains on it, even if I was going a block down the road.
  3. Thanks for your input everyone. Might be the question that has no answer.
  4. Thanks for the input so far. All 3 of mine are Oakville Ontario trucks. I'm 99 percent sure they all have original hoods. The RD's do for sure. I'm starting to think it is the year? Maybe the natural progression was a metal bezel, then to a plastic bezel, then to simplify things, no bezel. It is possible that the older R's I see without a bezel have replacement hoods... Possible?
  5. My curiosity has got the best of me. My 85 and 86 RD hoods have an extra plastic bezel? around the headlight. But my 88 R does not. My first thought was the hood changed because of the year. Since I have started to look I have seen older R's without the bezel . My next thought was that it was an RD thing. The extra bezel, bucket? might make the hood a little stronger in rough environments. But I have seen a lot of strait R's with them, so that doesn't seem right either. Could someone shed some light on this for me. Thanks Keith
  6. Great pics !! thanks for sharing You had been gone for a bit I noticed…..thought you had gone to get your DMM.
  7. Thanks for the pics!! You shouldn't have trouble selling it, looks like a good truck
  8. Don't get discouraged, your truck looks great!!!! When you get to show it off a little, you will realize the time and $$$$$ are worth it.
  9. Thanks for the input guys. If I am ever lucky enough to get a new bumper, I would gladly give you the old one J_martel. Keith
  10. Thanks so much for sharing , a lot of beautiful trucks that I wouldn't have been able to see. Hopefully next year I can see them in person.
  11. Look familiar Maddog, not sure if I should have kept them black. Thoughts??
  12. What a smart looking truck.The RD I mean, the CX is pretty nice to. I love it! It looks like it has factory illuminated mirrors ( something I recently discovered), hopefully they are in good shape. Maybe we could see some more pics some time Keith
  13. Good pic superdog!
  14. Good look'n B…………..
  15. My 86 RD688s still earns its keep. Beautiful truck Marcel67!
  16. Almost a month later. New parts, lots of polishing. Still want to paint the frame , wheels and hubs……. And would like a new bumper.
  17. The ad said they turned down 6k , wants more ………. think it will probably rot where it sits…………..unfortunately. Too bad, think its a cool truck.
  18. Thanks for sharing BAD DOG. Great pics!
  19. What a great mistake to make! WOW! Looks like it is in great shape. I love it. You could have a blast high-winging with that!
  20. I live close to Bolton. Its about an hour north of Toronto. Thats cool that you already know some of the history of the truck. I think you should think about repowering. Ask the guys on here what they would suggest . Sure they could point you in the right direction. Keith
