I agree but like the paint colors.

It appears the fender top has been raised. Compare the wheel opening to top of fender (it looks greater) and the grille looks taller. The top of the grille looks in the same position on the cab so the cab has not been modified. The big a$$ bumper makes it look taller too.

Thanks for the note. My stuff is from the 70s and 80s.

I enjoy seeing pics of the vintage CAT machines. Although I worked for the "yellow father" I never acquired an interest in collecting/restoring a CAT machine. I spent most of my time developing on-highway truck engines. Perhaps that is why I prefer trucks. Part of the new hire program at CAT was spending two (2) weeks at the Peoria Proving Grounds playing working with all the equipment. My favorites were the tandem scraper and 977 traxcavator. The motorgrader was fun but too complicated for me. I remember a guy buried a D8 to the top of the tracks. It took two (2) D9s to get it out. BTW, I have a bunch of parts books from when I worked at CAT (buried somewhere in the basement). Is there a market for them and where would I advertise them (other than fleabay)?

If you tilted the cab, the truck would fall on its face.

I echo everyone's comments, good you found your parts but too bad is was family. Your grandson needs to learn a lesson as harsh as it may be.

Prefer stock or OE upgrades.

Both the Bulldog and bracket are missing. Funky clearance lights. Turn signals are not correct (look like single bulb). Can't find the CL listing either.

The 4320 is my favorite tractor. I always liked the "new generation" styling. The 4320 is turbocharged and sounds great. The synchro smash was the only transmission offered in the 4320. $3000 is a good price but can easily add up with all the needed repairs. My philosophy is "pay a little more and get a nice vehicle that does not need alot of work." You can find decent ones for ~$9000. On my "want" list is a nice original 1971-72 4020 synchro. I would like to find a standard (wheatland) version with the big rounded fenders.

If you have the serial number...send it to the Mack museum. They will tell you how it left the factory.

dang...that is heavy pondering! 'mazing what beer will do for your pondering!

Welcome! Do you live near Windfall? and good hot sauce too!

It's not about being the best, it's about keeping the investors happy!

Like the green Gould RS600L!

Too many questions, too little beer!

David - thanks for the link. Interesting statement "This was pretty late in the life of Mack’s R Series cab-over-engine model."

Nice MH and new paint looks good. The grille is chromed plastic. If the grille is like mine, the chrome "peels" and is also "pitted". New grille sections are EXPENSIVE. Black grille is different but I prefer the standard chrome/black. I just noticed...they did not paint the hubs and lug nuts white! Looks like they did the repaint correctly except the grille.

Where is the end of the line or do we take a number?

My MH was not spec'd with an air dryer. I have a new Bendix AD-IP dryer (bought it years ago for my H). Should I install the AD-IP or should I sell it and use an AD-9 dryer?

Its the old "double standard" issue. And the "haves" and "have nots". I will say it again "I am glad I am getting old!"

When did you last fuel the B? It may not have winter blend fuel. I think you mentioned you just fueled the Super, so it likely has winter fuel.

IFMI520 - has not logged in since the original post. Must not be too anxious to sell. On the bright side...maybe he is taking pics to post, specially of the fiberglass R cabs.

My parts book shows 1/2" OD tubing.
