Put a couple of stamps on that little CAT and send it my way!

If no one has the manual here, check over at Just Old Trucks.  Member "dieselsteveo" may be able to help you out.

Mack put the E9 into Cruisers.  Factory code WS721 as an example.

If the model maker followed OEM dimensions, it should work.

You can check out this 1983 R wiring diagram.  Click on the pdf.

686 has the engine mounted intercooler, 690 has the chassis mounted intercooler in front of the radiator.

The Mack engine designation 86 represented the use of ENDT676, EM6 285 or EM6 300 engines over the course of the production run.  Early models used the Tip Turbine mounted on the engine for cooling the air charge.  The front mounted charge cooler replaced the Tip Turbine around 1982 on most models.  DM686 models continued longer with the Tip Turbine until 1988, for example.

Engine designation 90 indicates the use of the EM6 300 (early), EM7 250 HP Econodyne or EM7 300.  

Al that looks mighty fine!

Jim-so if I recall your pal's 650 is a gas  job? Is he satisfied with his decision to stick with gas?  Supposedly the V-10 will be history replaced by a new 7.3L gas V-8-or so the rumor is.

By the way-you sure that 550 is not a 2018?.  Someone told me no gasser in 550 for 2019-which lends credibility to the the 7.3 rumor as if they are not ready to release that motor, not likely they would continue to offer the V-10 then dump it in the middle of the model year.

 

His feedback has been positive on the V10.  Knock on wood that it will continue considering he now has two of them!  The previous rollback was Duramax powered and it was having glitchy issues and he was getting sick of chasing stuff.  Quality Delphi harnesses?  Plus something was up with the pump.

I will double check the jamb sticker for the assy. date next time I am over that way.  I asked him on Wed. if it was an 18 or 19 and it sounded like he said 19 to me.  Maybe the salesman told him it is a 2019?  It was built at the Jerr-Dan factory in PA and then shipped to Crawford's and then del. on Friday.

Apparently my friend thought his Ford F650 rollback was lonely so he purchased a 2019 F550 V10 4 X 4.  It was delivered last Friday afternoon.  He was busy with it on New Years Eve.   Next stop is the sign shop.

Always be careful if you come home with a brand new blue tarp from Harbor Freight...

Well Brocky, I feel a little stupid.  Probably won't be the last time either...

I spent so much time analyzing the picture that I never read the specs to see flat windshield glass listed.  Duh!

Let's see what the blokes that live south of here have to say.

Very nice Jim-did you gt shifter back together?

Yup, back together.  Pulled the stick and had it machined for new threads.

Looks Great ROP!

I would need a bigger man cave for the Benz sign.  I suspect it is broken which is why it is outside?

Those are sweet dimensions. Do you have those drawings for a 1995 rd688s? 228" wheelbase? Does Canadian spread tandem have the same turning radius as the closer set American tandem with same wheelbase?

I don't have a 1995.  The link is for a 2002 RD with a 210" wb. It is as close as I have.  The 2002 spec sheet doesn't list the turning radius.

All else being equal, I believe the US and Canadian spread would have the same turning radius because the 228" wb is at the center of the suspension for both examples.

Jim, how long ago the pic was taken?

I took the picture about 10 years ago.

What does the P stand for?

Suffix P is a platform chassis (single axle straight chassis).

It's a bitsa.  A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Any RD tractors

I have a few RD tractor pics but no RD690 tractors that I can think of.

Sorry, don't have one for you.  My old Delco book list for 1947 EH the use of distributor models 649-F (top outlet), 1110027 (side outlet) or 1111751 (side outlet).  

Maybe these folks could help.
