You probably would’ve had, including me, BUT waaay tooo many pictures to look at than to think about come back response.

I’ve always heard same thing & I would call myself a mechanic back years ago! I always forget to do it but not hauling far. If it has a muffler on it, I don’t see it being as much problem if it were straight piped. I do understand the reasoning. I do cover when I think about, but I forget a LOT nowadays & always in hurry. Always been lucky too.

You didn’t have to come to this page on this site.  If your response to a differing opinion is to call people “inbred”, please move on.  

It’s amazing how simple it is, if you don’t like topic in (odds & ends) then don’t get on it. 

Well it’s a green on green tractor that looks good, sounds like it has 8V-71 that sounds really good & a trump,pence 2020 sign

Sold fo $69,000.

It did for me

No, I'm afraid I didn't.  

I love the truck, if I had ordered it I would’ve specked some things differently. It’s a long ways to MS. but I feel like it will be too high priced for me. It was just at 7,500 last time I looked on proxi bid. Thanks again

I may just take you up on that offer. Hopefully a/c works for you. 

I was thinking the same thing.

Well well well, I found my lost pics.  Let's see if this works...     https://postimg.cc/gallery/Y0p89Nj

Did you notice what wt. rating the rear suspension was? I know it’s an RD but I know Mack back then would build a truck anyway you wanted.

I drove up to see this today, took a bunch of pics and have apparently deleted them by mistake, grrrrrrr.  At any rate, I'm very sure the mileage shown on the odo is original.  The clutch pedal rubber shows slight wear but is not new, so that would make it original to the truck.  The drive tires are Michelin M+S's, about half worn out, so my guess is that they too are original.  There is, however, no sign of any weather cracking.  The steer Michelins appear to be newer, again with no weather cracking.  I can't explain the paint wear on the shift lever; perhaps one of the assigned drivers had extra long fingernails or something, who knows.  Aside from that, the truck looks completely original.  It does not have an air ride cab, and the possible bubbling at the bottom of one of the doors isn't there.  The red paint is slightly faded on the front of the hood and on the headlight surrounds, that's all.  This thing is a rare, original condition beauty.  If someone on this forum buys it (you can bid online) I hereby volunteer to drive it to you anywhere in the country at no charge (I have over 4 million safe driving miles).  

Thanks for analyzing it for us!

I always thought this was the case. I think the trucks with maxidynes that have the econodyne badge on the hood are governed at 1750 rpm. From the beginning the maxidynes were 2100 rpm engines. Somewhere along the line some of them were governed at 1750rpm to save fuel and reduce driver fatigue by cruising at 1750 instead of 2100. My 1994 RD690 has a fully mechanical EM7-250 under the hood but it is governed at 1750rpm. It has a silver bulldog on the hood and no econodyne badging though. 

This truck for sale says operating range from 12-2100.  Econodyne on hood, says it’s 300 maxidyne engine?? Gold dogs

Why does it have econodyne on the hood?

I’ve seen several trucks like this, 300 maxidyne & 5spd, all Mack truck gold dogs with econodyne on hood. I think I’ve only seen 1 truck ever that had maxidyne on hood.

Picture 21, never seen an air tank like that, also looks like it might have a little bubble on door. Sure wished it was closer to me, don’t see them that clean around me but I’m sure it will be way out of my budget anyways

Can’t tell if has air ride cab? noticed it doesn’t have the water filter & I don’t see the canister type oil filter (can’t remember exactly what they call it). It is too short really, wonder what axle rating it is?

It is most definitely, but lot more nicer if a 350 with 9spd.

I thought I read on here before that the dogs on the door were a Canadian thing?

It’s very nice. Be interesting to see what it brings. You think the 5spd will hurt selling price? I guess it will probably be bought & not worked

I haven’t driven 1 myself so I can’t honestly answer that, but I know garbage trucks has run them along time running in out of landfills. I’ve never heard that the converter wasn’t locked up in low gear, that seems hard to believe.

These dump trucks are newer trucks. The newer stuff is electronic. You didn’t see many in older trucks because of the $$$ & people knew how to drive standard shift. Those older (750 I believe) were in them back when I worked for DD & Allison dealer. They were in buses & fire trucks. Saw 1 in a peterbuilt for heavy haul truck that was high hp. They would do the job. You just need to drive 1. They have retarders & all back then too.

The true automatic (Allison)  in dump trucks around here will out perform any standard. They’ll go places offsite that standard want try. There quicker off red lights too.

Worked for me

Story time:

There was a 4300 for sale on AuctionTime in TN, close to me. Truck was very clean inside & out. Can’t remember the farm name still on the door but was at a used equipment lot. Had 8V-71, I’m an old DD mechanic & I needed like I need another hole in my head, but I called place to go inspect truck before auction & they had sold it! 
Made my blood pressure rise & I told them & Auction Time what I thought. AuctionTime deal messed me up on another truck too. Sorry bout rant but couldn’t help it. 
Those farm all’s are nice trucks!
