Hey Mike D , Hows the progress on the B87??

I used to own the ex Arute tractor and sold it , its now in upstate NY

I saw the truck as well, a real beast with 65,000 rears!

Great truck, it will last 20 more years no prob! get a Richards/ King of covers tarp system and make it a true CT truck you wont regret it !

EX- Valley Paving from Shelton

Anybody know where this truck is now?

Were 65,000 rears ever offered with a Superliner? I've personally only seen them with 58'000lbs in person, but have seen one out of Canada forsale online with 65's!

This truck is forsale right now on Truckpaper.com out of Canada for $179,000!

Don't forget , Over the Top"!

Where is this old girl hiding?

Not sure i haven't talked to Bart in over a year!

No just reg 2080 I believe was the #

Yes it was that had 100,000 orig miles ,tip turbine, 2 stick 6 speed, high level interior, even had orig. carpet !

LoRusso's #136 , 1987 DM690sx, 300,mack 8 speed, 58 rears, had 15,000 orig. miles on it in 2008 when they pulled off the orig. mobile mixer and installed a new Biebeu body, and i drove her for the next 3 seasons , what a beast! but would only do 64 MPH

He emailed me back saying it was 1985, rw613, 13 speed fuller,good double frame, 12,000 front , 44,000 rears wetline

What were/are the weight laws in Ct for the quad axles like this and O+G 's , I thought you could get a 80,000 lb permit correct? I've herd Hi Hi got into some shit with these trucks!

I had this problem once on my DM897, all I did was take the main air feed line from the tank to the starter off and dumped about a shot glass worth of air tool oil in the line , that made all the difference in the world for my starter , but if its not engauging it could be the Helex or the flywheel gear teeth are bad.

Those look like stock grill bars from a mid 2000's T800b Kenworth to me?

Hey i may be interested in the 5th wheel , what are you asking for it and where are you located and also contact info?

Not sure what V8 you have , but i just replaced one on my ENDT866b, and it was held in by a crows foot / fork with one bolt then just pop it out and up "very tight on my truck". The one I received from Watts mack I had to take apart and use the very short drive shaft from the original, old tach drive, the one that came with the new tach drive was too long there for not allowing the tach cable to screw into the top of the drive . hope this helps Brian

I have a 1974 DM897sx, that is in need of a cab , I was wondering if a much later DM600 say 1990's , or a same vintage dm600 will fit , or will fit with minor mods ? Thanks Brian

John do you know if a much newer say 1980 or 1990s Dm600 cab will work or does it have to be a DM800 cab?

Hey John you dont know of any good cabs or body parts down your way do you ?

I will definitely will be interested in the tires and rims , what are they for tires and lug patterns?? also what will you want for all, Brian
