FOR SALE OR TRADE 1970 R700, NHC 250 Cummins, Triplex Transmission

[MorrisExcavation]

I am not 100% ready to sell this but thought I'd throw it up on here to see if anyone had any interest. It is a 1970 R737ST, serial # 1406. Has a NHC 250 Cummins, 422k miles, 13 speed Triplex twin stick transmission. Two pto's, one for single line wet kit, the other for a pto driven winch behind the cab. The truck has been parked in a barn since 1991, I got it out in July and got it going again, one picture still shows the inspection sticker from 1991. I put on new firestone steer tires, new wheel seals, radiator hoses, belts, converted to 12v starter, 3 new batteries, new battery cables, good brakes, all lights work. Interior is in excellent and cab has little to no rust. Steering is straight and true, will run 60 mph down the highway in a straight line with no hands on the wheel. Is a very clean solid old truck, I bought it with plans of working it to pull a lowboy but I have since found a 1990 mack ch613 and I'm going to use it. This truck would be great to fix up or could be put to work. I put an ad on CL but took it off because I kept getting phone calls from foreigners who wanted to export it. I don't wanna see this truck go that way, i like this old truck but I don't use it and hate to see it sit. I don't have to sell it but would like to get a better lowboy and dump trailer and could use the money for that. I might be interested in a trade toward a lowboy, dump trailer or other heavy equipment? Could put some extra money with it for the right trade. I was asking $10,000 obo or I would take the winch off and sell it for $9,000 without the winch. The truck is located in Orleans, IN 47452, about an hour north of Louisville, KY. Call - (812)844-1331. Also have a 91' Mack DM690S tri axle I might sell also, see last picture, it has been used as a site truck so it's a little rough around the edges but runs and dumps. Asking $10,000 obo for it. Thanks

WAY TOO GOOD TO LET GO TO THE EXPORT PARASITES!

WOULD THIS BE A RARE COMBINATION OR WERE THEY COMMON AT THE TIME?

[slpwlker]

13 speed triplex is kinda rare behind a cummins in my book.

13 speed triplex is kinda rare behind a cummins in my book.

When I was calling around getting parts a mack guy told me there were 538 made with this engine and trans combination. I don't know how many r700's were made but 538 doesn't sound like very many, he thought it was pretty rare.

I pulled the trigger on a lowboy today so I am going to have to move this truck, make me a serious offer

[MorrisExcavation]

I really need to move this truck, I hate to part with it but I have to. I have listed it locally and online but have got a dozen calls from people who cant speak English or even pronounce Mack right and then ask me if they can drive it to Florida or North Carolina. I am sick of these people calling, I really like this truck and hate to see it go that way. It would be a great project to finish restoring or to still work it some. I am ready to make a deal on it, so make me an offer, worst I can do is say no. I would rather lose a little money on it and see it stay here than get shipped overseas. Thanks

Please,please don't sell it to a third world country!Sure hope the right guy scoops it up...

Appears to have the inverted camelback springs, like my R600.

Still got mine for sale, too!

Anybody know what became of this tractor?

Interesting to read about a Truck with this engine/transmission combination as this R is.

Many years ago, I knew of a F Model sleeper cab, {not sure of year, guessing mid to late '60s ?}

that had  similar specs, with Budd wheels and longer wheel base. I didn't know if it was as built, or a possible repower.
