SOLD 1964 B-61 SX Tandem, Diesel, Runs Excellent--$3000

He doesn't take up much room! -
Howdy all! Up for sale is 'Mater. With gracious help from members here we have identified this wonderful dump truck as a 1964 B-61 SX. It has a tandem axle and is a diesel. The "S" indicates the tandem axle and "X" indicates the extreme load capacity. The frame is in excellent condition as is the ceiling in the cab. There's a 2' oak piece in the frame that is also in excellent condition. Mater runs beautifully, he fires right up and is ready for a new home. I bought him as a work/yard truck and don't envision any more projects with him. Please, please do not buy him for scrap! This is not an 'on-road' truck at the moment but is worth restoring if that's your intended goal. (and I kind of hope it is). The serial number is 48339, I do not have a title. The body is in generally good shape, I believe someone started restoring him before I picked him up. I've had fluids changed and the piston rebuilt by a local heavy equipment mechanic but the piston does still leak. The drivers seat is in terrible condition (I use a sheet so the coils don't poke my butt!) Selling for $3,000.00. We are located in Chesterfield, Massachusetts. You can reach me at 413-six95-nine667. My name is Barb. Sorry for the re-post; the original buyer fell through. We'd like to move 'Mater before the snow really starts flying. IMG_2707.MOV

Howdy Bigdogtrucker. It's a Mass truck right now but I don't know where it originally came from. This is the one you've been helping me with. (thank you again) Someone just called... I believe 'Mater has found a new home!!!! A big thank you to the new owner(s)....I can't wait to see the project unfold! -

Yipee! I needed to move him yesterday and he fires right up...I will miss him, but I hope someone will actually DO something fun with him! Thank you, again, for your help. -

Yay, yay, yay!!!! Thank you all for your help so far! Mater is a B61SX! Having an identity is a good first step! Here is the (interior) frame pics. I read that the 2" oak was for trucks 'meant' for rip rap?! Not sure if that's true but alas 'Mater does have the oak rail. Really, NOTHING in the way of rust on the frame. No flaking, no weirdness at all really. Some pics of the interior frame rails, serial number, etc. -

Thanks BigDogTrucker....I'll check the inside frame rails and see if I can get some decent pics of that (and the serial number while I'm at it). TozziWelding...about 25 minutes west of Northampton in a town called Chesterfield. Here's a video of the engine (running). IMG_2707.MOV -

Oh my gosh! j hancock--thank you! I will look for the serial number. So---when I find the number, is there a data base to type in it and it'll tell me the 'specs''? Yes, Bigdogtrucker...I have lots of pics (and videos). Here are some frame pictures....of course they aren't of the passenger side--which is what I guess I really need! I have a video of the engine--if this site will allow videos I'll try to get that up in a moment. -

I'm not really sure...I was thinking around $3K. But I was hoping people here could help me with that one. Do you know what he is? -
Hi all, Just signed up here hoping for some help. I bought this truck as a yard truck, he is affectionately named "mater". I think he's a 1956 B-model...but that's where my knowledge about him ends. He starts flawlessly, runs, drives. Has a split-shift transmission. Has two batteries, 8 tires, is diesel and is a dump truck. I had a heavy equipment mechanic do some maintenance on him (change some fluids, work on the piston and fix a tire). I really don't see me using him anymore and would like him to go to a NICE home (please not scrap!). But I have no idea how to list him, or what to ask for him. We are located in Massachusetts. Someone in New Hampshire was interested but I have a feeling they have changed their minds. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all for your help, Barb
