They're all good when their runnin' but it just seems the "B"s run longer. Not the fastest truck on the road but they can sure pull. Small cab but it's roomier than the DM. Rides better too but the DM has a 21K front axle and 58K rear tandem so let's be fair. I heard it put well this way, "After you drive a DM for 10 hours you've felt like you've wrestled a gorilla. After you drive an RD for 10 hours you feel like you could wrestle a Gorilla."

Yup Bob couldnt agree more "OLDDOG" is 43 yrs old & still going he Wont run but 50mph top speed on the floor put he will pull a D7G Cat & 225 Cat like a tandem & hes ONLY A SINGLE AXLE tractor (granddad ,dad & great uncle had done this back in the late 70's & up to mid to late 80's before DOT was bad on that kinda stuff ) Can remember as a kid ridding in "olddog" my uncle or granddad driving "olddog" pulling equipment should had been pulled w/ a tandem up the hills of N.W Shelby county & South Tipton county w/ the 711 stright pipe talking to ya & gearing "olddog" down maybe once while going up the hill .

There was a 77' DM685S We had it had a 237 2stick 6spd double framed 16' bed w/ 2 way tailgate 20k f/a 44k r/a on macks versison of a rubberblock suspension (w/o the blocks) cant remember what they call this suspension but it wasnt CAMELBACK the ole Tandem rode better loaded than empty but like ya said ya felt like ya wrestled a gorilla @ the end of the day . but it pulled like hell w/ a 6:06 ratio gear

The best riding Dumptruck we had was A 87 RD688S triaxle 350 4v Mack 6spd airshift dynatard brake 18k f/a 44k r/a double framed on Camelback 16.5' bed w/ 2waytailgate & too me had more room than THE DM I liked driving this truck & "olddog" too

just my 2 cents & yall have a goodone

hey Tom i FINALLY put "olddog" (my B422T) in the registry LAST WEEK

Thanks

aka

thermodyne your quite welcome

other dog : thats a cool story i too think of a few tractors & trucks too that my dad, great uncle & granddad had & I LOVED TO DRIVE OR OPERATE & They either traded or sold

my favorite tractors were a 1066 BLACKSTRIPE I.H. A 2590 Case & a 1256 I.H. All had duals ,& canopys & pulled dirt pans, disks , sheepfoot rollers but when we got a 2590w/ cab & air i put 5% limo tint on the glass i thought i was in hog heaven but the i.h tractors sounded better strightpiped than the case did to me

we had a 806 diesel that lil tractor was a hoss fer its size i liked putting a small landlevel behind it to fish grade tops of levvees & haul roads w/ i miss it wish i still had it but granddad sold it when i was bout 25 more like traded it for a 350 honda 4 wheeler

We had a 175C I.H Crawler loader it was alright but compared to the TD25C dozer W/I.H V-8 Diesel we used to clear land w/ the 175 was a baby .

I LIKE THE I.H. Equipment but the trucks always wouldnt go where a or a autocar would go & also stayedd in shop more just wouldnt hold up like a or Acar would

later yall

As yall know by now im BIG ON MY NAMESAKE WHICH IS & other than maybe a Ford pickup there is no else on top of the list in my book far as Truck manufacters go .

But as far as farm tractors go im BIG ON A 06',56',66, 86 & 88 SERIES I.H. Tractor love to hear a ole I.H DT SERIES Stright piped Diesel pulling a newground disk or a reynolds dirt pan or land level or a double drum water filled sheepfoot roller w/ black smoke rolling .

heres a site i found not a member YET BUT ....... Its a interesting site w/ message boards the site is called RedPower Magazine

Later yall

ya all mine are peaked & tuned also a buddy of mine who is like a dad to me who drove for my granddad taught me bout radio when i was about 11yrs old & my 1st radio was a Cobra 19 that he bought fer me i put in a 225 Cat trackhoe that a ran on the weekends fer my granddad & the other guys liked it cuz that was before horns on equipment

it gets to be an expensive hobby

hey tim anit nothing wrong w/ an Acar :thumb:w/ the exception V**V* Put them almost in the grave .

We ran 4 DK Series butterfly hood Acars TRIAXLE DUMPS w/400 Bigcam Cummins(5" stright pipes) & 8LL & 46K ROCKWELLS ON DOUBLEFRAMES On walking beams & 16' bed w/ 2way tailgates .

In my book they are next to a In the dirt they would walk right where our DM's & R's were going in the dirt & mud

V*!>0 will probably buy them, then eliminate them to further monopolize the truck market.

I agree W/ Herb

Ya i was wondering why i had to log back in this morning & that explains it thanks for explaining it Barry

later yall

out the 4 DM's we were running 3 of the were 237 E6 Motors & like Terry said these motors are bullet proof .

a couple of the R Models & a F Model we ran had them also

the only reason why im getting ready to go from a 711 to a 237 or 300 E6 in "olddog" Is because the E6 Motors ya still can find parts for .

later yall

I have a question yall like yall @ 1 time or another i have seen the frame crack @ 1 point oranother due to age or stress but ive always seen them crack behind the cab back as far as the rear tandem or around the trunion but never in front of the steer axle .

A old friend of my late granddad had a 86 RD686S factory double frame factory made dump That the frame cracked right in front of steer axle on the drivers side last week

he said he was gonna part it out but im curious what could have caused this ? too much torque or POPPING THE CLUTCH While the truck was loaded or cutting too short while loaded ? Or a motor mount gone bad & too much torque& stress on the frame ?

im curious to know YOUR IDEAS YALL On this yall ive never seen a truck frame crack right in front of the steer axle
