ppsyclone Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Did Mack ever make the DM-800 available with all wheel drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 don't know if Mack did, but there are companies out there that converted them. Marmon Harrington is one. nu yawk city had a few they used in the landfills as lowboy tractors for pulling broken dozers off the workface back to the shops. they also had allison transmissions in them.

mowerman Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I’ve never seen one but I’m sure they are out there since most of them were built for heavy haul and a lot of off road work.. I know of one out here DM 800 dump truck been sitting in the same area for 26 years that I know of looks like it’s in pretty good shape drives me crazy to see it just sitting should be in my yard lol Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 now there's a question i never thought of . didn't know NY had any . can't recall anyone on east coast having one. casey,hallamore,gerosa etc always had the M's for big hauls. even those were big not 6x6.now it's got the brain cells going for a 1/25 scale build. past post showed a RD800 don't think it was 6x6.

mowerman Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 You know now that I think about it those things were so hefty I am surprised a lot of them were not all wheel drive they actually look like they should be I have a model of one I bought 20 years ago and only finished maybe 1/3 of it the rest of it is still sitting in the box interested in finishing it one of these days ha ha ..

Bob Bob did you ever finish the model? want to sell it. i have 3 DM 800's on the bench being built. one stretched for a 4th axle . bought a 359 pete model for the twin turbo cummins going into the 800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Naaaaaaah man that thing always gets back burner had around 21 years ….. but thanks for reminding me I’m off another 6 weeks due to slipping on the ice very little to do around here that doesn’t take a lotta grip and I’m supposed to be taking it easy finishing that thing would be perfect… Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
