RD-685SX Specification Brochure dated 1980.

Great picture!

Sorry about the motor problem.

I believe the RS brochure date is 1985. The R-700ST brochure is 1977

That's going to be a BIG shelf!

Looks cool!

Guess they know their trucks (V####) won't make it that far?

9.02, that's a logging ratio!

Not that I have heard.

You will also need tire size and know your overdrive ratio to do your calculations.

As seen on TV...

King Of Dirt? Tell me more.

The King of Dirt was a "reality" show about a landscaping business on the DIY channel. There was some decent landscaping info but as with most reality tv shows the boss was always arguing with his brother or his wife or whoever. Part of a show I saw spent at least 10 minutes with the fools arguing and yelling and making a mess because the Bobcat quick detach bucket wouldn't stay locked on.

I saw one or two shows and I decided that I would rather go watch paint dry. You could probably Google "King of Dirt" and get more info.

Think the show is gone now. Which is good!

Excellent! Nice looking cards.

Hmmm.....I wonder what the cards look like for the "King of Dirt" TV guy?

The whole farm is probably Red Power.

Other Dog is just showing off his mill bastard.

There is a posted RS brochure you can check out.

It shows RS at 66" between top of cab and top of rails.

A R-700 ST has 65.2"

A RD-600SX brochure has 62.8".

A R-607RS "Flintstone" is 61.3"

Thanks for the id on the Binder.

Fine looking ride!

No, Hat has one of those deep fat fryers for manatee. He then cleans it out, changes the oil and does Thanksgiving turkey.

For seasoning, you got any more of your homemade sauce?

Hat will tell us manatee taste like chicken...

Hatcity better get the video ready!

Does anybody know what that very first one is? looks like the cab is higher on the frame. And the hood looks higher too.

Looks like a 759 Brockway.

I only have a couple more to post and I like the quality also. Wish I had a huge box of old slides showing trucks and equipment.

Nice stuff. Where is this show near Albany?

Yup.

Culvert replacement in 1967.

I posted in the Wiki a list of engine codes that I had found cruising the computer a while ago. Don't recall where it came from but it may be your original work Mike.

Looks like a good project!
