Doesn't the UK have different voltage and/or frequency than USA? Might not want to plug anything into that. Nevertheless its a block heater but I would verify what type of power it requires before I would use it in your case....

Saw this beauty while browsing FB Marketplace. Certainly a collector quality truck with all the desirable specs. Lots of $$$$$ though.....No affiliation. Just passing along. Its close to me if anyone wants me to look at something for them. 1980 Mack Superliner E9 V8 - Commercial Vehicles - Eastvale, Pennsylvania | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook

Demountable / Dayton 9x22.5s are getting extremely hard to find and expensive.

Looks like you should purchase some new tires too. Those two at the 5&6 position look pretty thin.

purchase a new one with the correct tree / ride height.

I would say a lot more information is needed. First off, what year is the truck? If its mechanically injected and no ECM then you are probably limited to the Allisons that require no electronic controls. Would any of those even be suitable for this application? Then you run into mounting / crossmember issues. Are 80k rears planetary drive? Might run into ratio problems but probably not in this use case. I'm guessing you probably never get above 15 mph on flat ground but definitely something that would have to be checked....ratio of your rears. There might be other things in play but honestly I can't see how this would be worth it. Just get another TRXL 107, or overhaul the existing one and put it back in. You probably never come out of 1st direct anyway. With everything involved, an Allison swap would be hard to justify to travel 2 miles per day on flat ground.

Ironically when I was on my way to Macungie I saw a brand new Scania dump truck being transported on a lowboy heading East across the PA turnpike near Mt. Joy, PA. I was driving so I couldn't get a picture but it was definitely a brand new single axle Scania. It had maybe a 12 or 13 foot dump body on it and had super single tires on all four wheels. And it had very large Allison Transmission decals across the side of the dump box. It looked like a promotional vehicle for Allison.

To be honest that is the only reason I didn’t drag that long hood Road Boss home that was sitting next to your truck. I didn’t feel like going through all that bureaucracy and red tape only for them to tell me no. Not even sure how much worse it would have been since it was out of state. That and I had just purchased another one not too long before you found that one. O well. At least you got yours sorted out.

I still burn anthracite in a hand fed stove. Nothing like it in the word. The best solid fuel heat source period. I'm surrounded by bituminous coal that is really pretty cheap, however you might as well just burn wood and save yourself some hassle. Anthracite by me has crept up to around $400/ton the past few years. I think out there picked up directly at the breakers is still around $350/ton. In todays money every heaped bucket in that 992 is probably $5000+

I don't know when the 1693 Cat was released, however I have known of one DM800 with a factory 1693. I don't remember the year of the truck but I think it was around 1970. The DM and R models where released in 1965-1966 respectively I think. So the las B model would have been around 1966. Were 1693s even available then?

If you can't find someone by word of mouth you can try UShip. Its a very easy app/platform to use. I used it on my last iron acquisition and was very pleased. It seems very daunting at first but at the end of the day someone who owns a tractor and lowbed (owner operator) is doing the work. Its just dealing with the brokers that can be a little annoying. Uship itself is a broker that puts your load out to actual freight brokers who compete for your business. Once you select a freight broker, they put the load out to O/O load boards. To give context, I got a full size farm tractor that did not run moved from Central Illinois to Pittsburgh, PA for right around $800. They made me pay half up front and then when the driver unloaded and let them know they charged my credit card for the balance. It was a completely painless transaction. I would use them again If I had the need.

I assume since you say it needs restored it is some type of antique truck. Are you going to put antique / historic plates on it? If so who cares how much it weighs? Reading the statute what is meant by Vehicles licensed under RCW 46.16.070, 46.16.090, and 46.16.0621? Are antique registration fees dependent on weight in WA? Section 2(b) states "A weight slip from a certified scale". Fine. Take your pickup ballasted to whatever weight you want the scale to read and go get a "certified weight slip" printed. Take it to the DMV. Problem solved. How is the mindless drone at the DMV going to know if the slip you have is for the truck you are trying to get the title for or not?

Well that looks like an identical reproduction to what is in my 94 RD and it will boil me in there if I need it too. Usually have to have the window rolled down a few inches if its on.

Seems like a crazy amount of idling time. I was always told the average mph for a vocational truck such as a steel body dump or roll off operating a mix of suburban and city conditions would be somewhere in the 20-30mph range. Don't know what the use of this truck was but those numbers indicate a lifetime number of 8.5 mph.

Isn't this Walz clown the guy that said something to the effect of: "If a 25' border wall is constructed I will invest in a 30' ladder company."?

If I had to guess I would say the 864 V8. Mack collectors know they have questionable reliability (as a working truck engine) and parts at this point are near unobtanium.

From the picture it looks like the wheel seal is leaking pretty bad.

If its a 6 cylinder Mack engine the serial number is cast into the engine block. It is stamped into a ledge in the engine block casting just above the water pump housing on the front right. 82 might have an actual VIN number. Otherwise the truck / chassis serial number is stamped into to the frame rail on the passenger side behind the front wheel. Usually somewhere between the two leaf spring hangers around the shock mount. Was this truck built in Allentown, PA USA?

Are you sure the replacement transmission you got is a 2060A? There seems to be a difference between the T2060 and the T2060A. Just quickly looking at Muncy's catalog no PTOs available for the T2060A are compatible with a T2060 or at least none of the part numbers are the same between the two options. I would somehow verify the exact model transmission your replacement is. There is a PTO that will fit it..... Do you have access to the truck the replacement came out of? Or can you get the VIN of the donor truck from the seller?

Why?

Its funny. Back in the day an FLD120 was fleet truck. Usually some low spec Series 60 Detroit and a 9 speed. You wouldn't even notice it if one drove by you. Now if you see one on the road you dam near snap your neck trying to get a look at it. LOL

looks like an LJ too. Cummins powered. The yellow B model is a B755. Looks like an 864 V8 Diesel. And the black B model is a B73. Cummins powered.

I think its just modern times/ mentality. PREFACE: I'm not beating up on your tractor just speaking my observation of the times....Most people would look those pictures and say "What a piece of junk. Aint no way I'm paying $3k for that dinosaur when I could put that money down on a brand new B or L series Kubota have a brand new tractor for $225 a month." Extreme devaluation of the dollar, easy credit, low interest rates, and the consumerism mentality have taken over. Look back 50-60 years ago. Nobody besides famers had tractors and loaders. Now everyone with a backyard has a BX series Kubota or bigger. 50-60 years ago someone with 5-10 acres would be proud to have something like that in their shed. Now its seen as archaic and useless. I would find the appropriate local or semi local auction and consign it there. Some auction houses are better at marketing and selling certain categories of items. I would research your local area and see who sells the most used heavy equipment and go from there. With internet marketing and bidding you are pretty much going to get what the market says its worth.

If Trump makes it to the Whitehouse he should declassify every shred of evidence and let the full story come out on this thing. There is no way this SS Director is lasting a week longer than his inauguration if she isn’t forced out before that.
