Exchange rate is about 3 BR Reals for a Dollar, so price is around $45k. Brazil was another missed opportunity for Mack, their import restrictions are a PITA but the market is so big you can't ignore it. Missed opportunities like that are how Mack became a pawn in Volvo's acquisitions instead of the worldwide brand leader Mack should have become.

The exchange rate is 3~:1.... Listed for R450.00,00   That $133,000 and change...

I'll bet that was a beast with the 237 in it! What did it have originally?

Should have had a 6V53.

$133,000.00!

The seller wants someone to buy it all.... so I was just prefacing that in effort to get an appraisal .... He sent a pic of the engine tag.. confirmed engine is original to the '87 truck... I know its not the stamp in the timing cover.... but it is a late air/water tip turbine!

Has the look of a DM.  Big frame and a DM style fuel tank.

Can you get the engine number?

Its not local, can you tell me where to have the seller look?.... and, what's that rig worth?... as pictured The 6 speed is already sold.

I always forget which pump went with which engine.. the Maxidyne's had one and the 300+, 350's had another....

I think either a recording syncronized to the throttle of a P&W R-4360, or Wright R-3350 would fit the bill for effects. If you've never been around those engines they make a sound you'll not soon forget.  

YES!

This is supposedly an '87 tip turbine DM.

Were all tip turbine's two valve? I've seen that set-up in hard nosed Macks into the late 80's... but the two valve was discontinued with the e6 or was it?

I broke one of those grossing 96k once... it was exciting. Rode nice before that though.

Globalists see no need for any of this weaponry .... "don't we all bleed red?"

Bought pair of Wesco boots, great boot, but the puke who measured my feet made them to tight, been trying to give them away, going to send back and tell them to shove them up pukes ass, been buying snap on, but going to try Danner next, snap on makes great socks, got at least 50 pair, don't have time to wash when on a project, just take enough to go and get back, had Red Wings but think quality went off and more interested in pretty wear not work wear, seen good boots in Europe but don't understand their sizing, Carhart won't even last 3 months, get almost year out of Snap on. 

What size are your Wesco's??? Maybe they'll fit me. I'm getting desperate.

Russell's are hand made in Wisconsin - and expensive.

If anything on them ever wears out, send them back and they will repair/replace whatever is worn.

Have you owned any? I like the idea of spending big money and getting good service and quality... but somehow, I can't believe they'd be willing to rebuild boots that fail from working in a dairy barn.... 

a 4020 did not have an especially robust rear-end. I'm thinking it was a conversation piece only. The Detroit repower's were somewhat common, but as everyone knows, the torque on that Mack would break that JD's back in tough ground.

I've never run a 5 speed Mack, but opinions on them seems to be all-over-the-map... I've read more than once, I'm certain, at how strong and competent that 300 5 speed combo was... driver friendly etc... even at full weights (or so I was led to believe) ... Then there's the problems the OP has. I've met more guys who hate 5 speeds than guys who love them. Always a curiosity to me. The only Mack trans that receives universal praise is the vaunted 12 speed.

Israeli Superliners at rest.  Like the headlight treatment.

 

unusal visors too... 

Flatbed Annie and Sweetie Pie featured a sharp Superliner if I recall.

Why haven't North American truck builders had any measurable success in South America? There are minuscule numbers of 9800's there compared to European trucks.

Your in the right place. I had the same problem when I was looking for my numbers. I had to get the sand paper after it. There not stamped real deep and can be hard to read sometime. 

 

Its tight to the frame rail.. damn near need a mirror to get a visual on it.. right?
