Nah if have to disagree there my 79 w900 Kenworth and 08 Kenworth t408 have both done 3million kilometres without a rebuild or any major issues just a few tweaks here and there and could kick the r model Mack's ass all day long without breaking a sweat 😆
@@connornutsford4776 Cope harder, I see more R models in piss poor condition still doing every day loads and getting it done. Any old FuKenworthless I see are show trucks.
Get yourself a spray bottle and put fuel in it and spray those ratchet binders and they’ll work smooth as greased lightning and stay like that a long time 😉
We’ve got two komatsu dozers close in size that have 6 way blades. They are a late 90s or early 2000 model I’m not sure right off. Parts for the Allis Chalmers are almost nonexistent now. We’ve got a bone yard behind the shop though.
Good ole R model what year is it I drive a 88 R model tandem dump 285 with a 12 spd gear box that seems to be a 5 spd by the looks of the shifter unless it’s a mud stick 6spd 300 Mack engine????
@@AppalachianRust Definitely smoother ride I drove a dm 685sx tin nose 20,000 pound steer 65,000 rears on both and a dm 886sx I love them these Mack’s ain’t nothing like them at all they can keep all these new trucks along with the def egr computers all plastic trash
I was going to say a 6 speed. But after watching I can see it's a 5 speed. Takes some patience to shift one of those transmissions after you come out another truck with a 10 or 13 speed. It has been a long time since I drove that R600 one stack Mack with the window out the back with the single stick 5. Nice vid and be safe out there.
@@DoriClement-fe6tjBelieve me they are in no rush to shift those 5 speed gear boxes unless you bump the Jake then you can slide it in quicker that’s what I do a little harder with the Mack dynatard very sensitive will stall an engine quick with the dynatard
I hear ya. I’ll do a little of everything just testing the waters. Been running this stuff for years and decided I’d show the old stuff still working. Thanks for watching
