thats what i thought on the R & DM Radators but wasnt completly sure

Thanks Glenn & Herb for the info yall will do

Later

Ok yall got a quick question ..

"Olddog" (B422T ) is in need of a radatior the fins are just bout shot & the radator starting to drip & leak just a bit

Question is can i retro fit a radiator out an R Or DM Model or buy 1 new that will fit the truck & where could i find 1? or do i have this repaired ?

Barry, Fred , Herb or any body else have an idea ?

Thanks yall

To BMT Redhorse glad to have here My B422T Orig had a gas motor in him but when dad bought "olddog" back in 69 the gas motor was blown & a 711 was put in its place so i can relate to your situation .

Dont be afraid to ask questions someone here can always help ya out

later

to BMT Gus glad your here

sounds like a cool project for those cold winter days just to get out of house & into the shop to prevent "Cabin Fever"

1 thing i like bout an ole B Model is ya can find them sitting somewhere for long periods of time & either put batterys on them or pull start em & most the time ya hear BROOOM Ya know the ole has came back to life blowing smoke out the pipe

1 cool looking

Thats a good story man i couldnt imagine loading logs by hand thank the Lord for trackhoes & loaders & of course we drug our logs out w/ a 1566 blackstripe & 1256 I.H & A D3B & D4E Cat w/ hyster winches for years

never had a skidder but if we needed 1 Pop's called a buddy of his who had a TimberJack w/ a 371 Detroit in man talk bout a Screamer in the woods

later

good video's i also subcribed to ya on youtube

hey other dog i was the one trying to explain the difference between the 2 trannys & its like trying to talk to a brick wall

Ya im still young myself (32) but i was raised on the ole 2 sticks (mack & others) & 4&2 ,5&2 & even a 13 & 2 & allison 5spd w/ 2spd . my 1st 2 trucks i learned how to drive was "olddog" & "lil jimmy" a 74' GMC 9500 s/a tractor w/ 671 (238) 5&2 tranny double framed 23k rearend w/ bellyblower exhaust (i loved this ole truck as much as i do "olddog" & when my granddad traded it for a 4wd 4 wheeler in 97' i didnt talk to him (except when i had to & that wasnt much ) for a month "lil jimmy" was in the family since 75'

loved going under a overpass loaded & hearing that ole bellly blower 238 Detroit screamin aganist the wall

ya put alot of these young guys in a truck w/ a 2 stick or a truck w/ a 2spd rearend most will tell ya i dont know how to drive that the others that do are probly country boys from the farm or was raised in logging or construction like i was

BTW My handle on youtube is B422T Mack

We had a 24' Palmer Dumptrailer w/ lowsides but we done some modifying to it after we had bought it (used) like Herb's talking about on the tail gate & made it into a 2 way tailgate for the concrete, broken ashpalt , brush &stumps & demolition to come out easier . & also bought some channel iron & made sideboards for when the trailer was hauling sand, gravel,dirt & mulch

as we done alot of land clearing & clearing for right of ways & demolition work as dirt work .

a 2way tailgate is as handy as pocket on shirt & i anit gotta tell yall it anit no fun having a load hung up in a trailer while its up in the air

We had a couple of customers who had Skidsteers who done concrete work..

& alot of times if they had the room & lot of material to move id take a tractor & dumptrailer to thier jobsites over a Stright TriAxle dump & keep the triaxles hauling Gravel , Sand & Dirt & mulch .

its not a bad looking trailer in the pics what length is it Trent ? 22 or 24 feet? or a little longer ?

Later yall

ya could also go to a local dealer & give them a VIN # & get the factory specs on the truck

Heres the link for the Mack museum

& they take donations as the people who work there are volunteers & do this on THIER time . They do awsome work up there

hope this helps & to BMT

Later yall

they run these in the state of Ky also as a coal dump . & yes they are road legal We have some in the Memphis aera owned by a Demolition Co.

But bring one of these to the Memphis,Tn area these are used as a demolition dumptruck (esp by Memphis Wrecking Co)

because of the yards of debries ya hold in these beds.

later

The detail is incredable even has the bulldog guide poles .. looks like the 75' R model ready to pull a lowboy, dump or log trailer

Awsome looking model

later yall & yall have a safeone

I Came across a 85' R686 Tandem tractor w/ butterfly hood today . im interested in the truck its more of a sodfarm "yarddog" now as the it was once used to haul sod everyday now it shuttles sod from the fields to the yard . (the sod farm is like all on the same road just from one end of road to the other maybe 2 miles round trip )

I Know of the owner as he & my grandad were business aqantinces this is a 1 owner truck has pulled a skate bord hauling sod most of its life here around Memphis ,Tn & the midsouth aera in general

The only reason why it is used as a yarddog now is age is what owner told me . the oldest truck hauling sod on the delivers now is a 98 model (non mack )

the specs on the truck is :

300 Mack (4" stright pipe:D)

2 stick 6spd

14.5k f/a

44k r/a on camelback

double frame

2 line Wetkit

p/s

a/c (ice cold)

Tall 22.5 rubber on steel Budd wheels

187" wb

NO RUST

Im thinking w/ 325,000 miles on it offeriing him $6500.00 think this in the ballpark or too cheap or a little high?

im thinking its a fair price considering it could use a paint just & new rubber all the way round (tires have plenty tread but starting to look dry rotted )

What yall ideas yall ?

ive always wanted another DM Or R W/ A BUTTERFLY HOOD since my granddad sold the 79 DM Butterfly hood dump back in 97 .

later

Bigrigger to BMT Once the Bites w/ the fever its hard to beat it im named after a & been addicted to them since esp in my line of work (construction)
