I know a fellow but he is way on the upper East coast. It is a bigger machine though. They just dug it out(was their dads) and was contemplating what to do with it. I told him I'd love to have it(like I need it or have a place for it), but how the hell would I get it to Ohio?

It may be a source of info on machines listed in their forum section.

The ones I've seen have been gas. A 10b is only about 17k lbs or so.

Are you set on a 10 or could you live with a 15? Paul

A 15 would be nice too... It might even be big enough to get a little work done. I like the idea of a 10 because they're so compact, and it was the first machine my uncle loaded gravel with when he was 14. Would a 15 be a 3/8 or 1/2 yard machine? Maybe close in size to a 350 Bantam or a model K Insley, I'm guessing?

No close to you but Roger Gerhart may have or know of one.

I didn't think about them but I bet he would be the man to ask!

My brother and I just cut one up 3 weeks ago, had a 2 cylinder Detroit Diesel. we used to use it a few years ago, wish I new you were looking for one.

You're gonna make me cry! I'm always a day late and a dollar short! Lol

Get well soon, big guy! I'll say a prayer for you.

I'd like to find a 10B Bucyrus in any condition, whole or parts. I've been wanting a small friction machine to play around with and I think a 10B would hit me just about right. Any leads would be much appreciated! Have a very nice original 1974 IH Loadstar I'd trade if any interest is there. Thanks for looking!

That's amazing... Just for curiosity's sake, how much were they asking for it back then?

I really like that bumper. Shipping to AR would be a little pricey though. Where in west PA are you located, exactly?

eBay has a pretty nice selection.

Has anyone here ever replaced a roof panel on an R model? My '83 has a couple of pretty rotten spots around the drip rail. It looks like it's spot welded and caulked on. I'm just wondering how is the best way to go about replacing it? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Well, I brought her home the other day. Haven't had a chance to get started on it yet. Needs a good cleaning and servicing first, but mechanically I think it's sound. I can't find a leak anywhere and it runs, drives, and shifts like a dream. I forgot how much I liked driving a 2 valve. Anyhow, once I get it cleaned it up, I'm hoping to drop it off at the paint shop. I haven't decided on a color or paint scheme yet. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions? What's your favorite R model paint scheme?

I'm not chopping any up, partner.

Sold to a good home. Gonna have an easy life hauling hay seasonally on my buddy's farm in Mississippi.

this truck still available?

You should really consider a different profile name if you're serious about buying trucks on here.

The only new truck I ever bought was an '06 GMC Sierra w/t. Regular cab, 2wd, v6, 5 speed. $16,000. Everybody thought I was crazy for wanting a plain jane truck. I owed two notes on it when I traded it in on a 4 wd Tacoma. Dumbest thing I ever did.

Could be a Red Dot, Kysor, or Evans unit. The Red Dot unit is available in its entirety from Red Dot dealers for around $800. The Kysor unit is a little harder to find, and the Evans unit is NLA.

When I worked for my cousin in Memphis we had 4 TS 14's. 4-71's front and back. When you turned sharp you had to lay off the back throttle or it would push the front section up on one wheel. They were great little machines.

Haven't yet. I'll pm some more pics as soon as I get home with some daylight left.

Yes, still have it. What would you like to see in particular?
