Good morning, I have a new '22 Granite dump truck with an Mp8 455 and an Mdrive 12spd. Has anyone with this setup ever tried tailgating a load and have been able to have the PTO working and raise the body while moving? Our whole company is new to this mdrive setup and trying to learn more about it.

I found them in stainless on Amazon, $16 each on the grand general store. Thank you guys for your help, I'll post some pictures when I get them on 

Would it be the caps that fit 8.5" axles with 5/8" studs?

Good morning everyone, my brother in law just bought a 95 rd688sx dump truck and we're looking to find stainless steel hubcaps for the rear axles. Would anyone know if they sell any for these trucks? It's a Dayton rear, 44k or 46k axles I believe. I'm almost sure you can get chrome ones, but I'd like to get stainless steel if I can

They're 300s, I apologize, I'll correct it in the listing

2- 1994 Mack DM690SX tri axle dump trucks, e7-300 mechanical maxitorque 7 speed transmission, 15k steer, 52k rears. 1 truck is a parts truck for the other. The parts truck has a good trans. The other truck runs and drives excellent. It has a rebuilt engine and rebuilt rear. It has a popping noise in high range in the transmission, but the parts truck has a good transmission for it. Electric tarper works and has a good tarp. Truck brakes are good and good tires, 11r24.5s. Dump body in good condition. Both trucks for $17,000 or best offer. Price includes delivery up to 100 miles from Millsboro,  Delaware or can deliver both trucks further than 100 miles for a fee. Contact Billy at 302-296-8429 or Daniel at 302-344-2250 for more information.

You're welcome

Where is the best place to purchase a bumper and grill guard like the red R Model ?

I've seen them listed on Raneys website

Bill Mcgrew will do the truck right.

Is he the gentleman who bought grandpa? Is he a member on here? I know my brother in law said he would like us to come see it when he's done 😄

Shame that truck is no longer going to be working.

True, but I'm glad it will be fixed up and preserved

They sold grandpa today 😔, a guy from Baltimore bought and said he's going to fix it up and put it in his museum with this truck 😄, I can't wait to see it restored. I hope this guy is on here

I should've been more specific I'm sorry 😔, the r model and granite mp7 are the company I work for full time, Grandpa (yellow truck)is my brother in law's and business partners truck

For your sake, hope they don’t sale it, but if they do please let BMT know first in case anyone here would be interested. Good luck!

They're selling the truck 😔, I'll have pictures and info later when I get pictures of it

An e7 mechanical 350 in an old school heavy spec RD would be the ticket. I still hold out hope to stumble across an F the was spec'd heavy for that job.

Grandpa has an e6 350 with a 12spd and 55k rears and looks and feels heavy spec

We only run it in Delaware, it never goes out of state, although I trust this more than the mp7 granite I usually use

Would anyone be interested in those 12r24.5s or trading them for 11or 12.00r24? I know David might be interested in them.

65mph on the interstate for that little 237 is a problem.

It'll do 65 with that, surprisingly better than the mp7 and 10spd, the only thing would be that 237 would be singing to the top of its lungs at around 1900-2000, while the mp7 would hit 65mph by next Sunday at 1650 and be governed at that speed.

I love my old R models, but I do realize they would struggle a little with 100k of excavator and trailer behind them.

This combined is 120k with a 237 and a 6 spd embarrasses the hell out of a mp7 and 10spd in the granite I usually pull this trailer with, although it's overweight with the 12k steers and 38k rears lol🤣. Every chance I get to embarrass that granite with ol R I do lol

Well if you check the post from Maxidyne who just insulted my old Mack like it is a disgrace that it's old ?? I think the steel hooded RD was one the best trucks around, pure classic.  

I think it's one of the best trucks around too, that and the Rs

And lot cheaper to maintain 

Exactly mrgumby, they have a '10 freightliner classic with 90k miles that's had more problems with it than Grandpa with 10 bald tires lol🤣

If all they are going to use it for is to pull a lowboy that truck will out last any you get to replace it.

 

That's exactly what I've been trying to tell them. It only has 67k original miles on it and has paperwork almost 4" thick of all the services it has had.

If they end up selling Grandpa (the ol mack) I will definitely let you all know
