Popular Post Quickfarms Posted May 24, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2022 It looks like “O & SONS” the truck has been in Southern California for at least 25 years the interior has had animals living inside so it will be gutted i need to deal with the seized throttle pedal and brake pedal. the clutch feels real stiff The ignition switch is out and there are several air valves laying in the cab and one is missing the instrument panel bezel is missing, the battery box covers are not on the truck it will need a new drivers door it has a NTC335, 13 speed, 4.10 gears and 24.5 wheels 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Cool dog! Plenty of potential. Congrats on the purchase! Early Western R700 with steel dash and a single axle seems as a quite rare combo. At least for the East coast and it doesn't even worth to mention my neighbourhood.

You probably mean bottom dump trailers. You also see a lot of them hauling hay and in the ag sector not to mention LTL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my observations Western RS/RL700 with a single axle was as rare beast as I once was going to post a thread with a question of their very existance. But probably here on the forum we have more folks over East coast than the West so Western models were discussed less. On the other hand I remember relatively many Western RS600 showed out. And I belive no more than 2 or 3 pics of RS700 single axles were saved on my hard disk at all.

I also thought most of the hay haulers used cabovers to gain more trailer length as hay is a lighter cargo. I am an east coaster who has only run Calif occasionally!!

theakerstwo Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 A 335 did not have a aftercooler but many installed them in later years. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Then that's likely converted to a 350. Which in my opinion makes it an even cooler truck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickfarms Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 A 350, great I need more power so I am not climbing the passes in the slow lane. I used to run with the military vehicle group but got kicked out because I drove to fast and all I did was fix everything so it was factory new so I could cruise at a comfortable speed. at least the ATHS guys travel at 55+ in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 A Small Cam in good shape also sounds fantastic. Not just the exhaust. The engine itself has a certain distinctive sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Quickfarms Posted May 29, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2022 I worked on the truck today getting it ready to move to my place next weekend. I aired up the tires and tried to charge the air system but the foot valve has a huge air leak so I had to cage the brakes and they were a little stubborn from sitting since 2007. I will need to replace the foot valve and probably also the pedal since it is seized, as is the throttle pedal. does anyone have the Mack part numbers? I suspect the throttle is Mack specific and the foot valve and pedal may be Bendix 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) If the throttle is anything like a B, you might be able to salvage it. Remove pedal, some heat might break the pin loose? If not drill it and replace pin? Worth a shot if the pedal itself isn't worn paper thin and need replaced. Watts has both pedal assemblies. http://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=60_77 Edited May 31, 2022 by Freightrain Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
