Hi
Have a 1985
R685 with 1070B 12 speed trans
It has 14' dump body on it . Telescoping cyl
Body extremely slow in first and second gear .
In first it spins 117 rpm at engine speed of 1500 rpm.
It goes up great in 4th gear but can't tailgate spread going that fast do lot of driveways and site work
Pto speed in 4th is 450rpm at 1500 engine rpm .
Checked with photo tach .
I like the truck a lot but I doesn't work for me the way it is .
I took pump and body off another working international .
Truck was junk but body and pump worked fine on that truck
Thanks. Any info greatly appreciated

I don't want
To sound like a jerk but
Why does it need to be new ?
Is yours broke?
I have put in a few used reground in different
Trucks and farm tractors .
No problems as of yet .
One couldn't find used so they built it up with weld
Turned it down because it was already turned once
So couldn't be done another time
Good luck with your search

Mine didn't look to bad til I took it out wanted to crumble
Everywhere .
Not to mention fire hazzard
Don't want to go to all that work restoring truck
And have truck burn up on me .
So I'm going to copy it using newer wire better insulated
The mack museum sent me the wire diagram for it so that will help
Build new harness as well as having my old one to copy
