  15. FireMack i had an 81 GMC Brigadier Tandem tractor w/ an 8V71 (318) Detroit & 9513 road ranger, duel exhaust (w/ 2590 CASE Tractor pipes on mufflers) double frame, 187"WB. W/ knuckleboom crane w/ 2 line wet kit & 11R22.5 TIRES ON Steel Budd Wheels . ole Big JIM Sounded sweet under the lowboy, log trailer & 24' Palmer dump trailer or when i operating the knuckle boom crane changing out Duals on the IH 1066 Farmalls we used to pull dirt pans, landlevels ,disk & sheepfoot rollers with . we also used the knuckle boom to change motors out & etc it came in handy doing mechanic work & sounded sweet doing it. later

  17. & since i was raised around the ole 9500, Brigadier, & General esp w/ Detroits in them here are 2 of my favorite videos w/ Jimmy Brigadiers & Screamin Jimmy motors (6V92) (Shifting a 671 part 1)my granddad had a man work for him 25 to 30 yrs he could make lil jim (our 74' GMC 9500 S/A TRACTOR) Sound just like the video of the 671 in the Brigadier that drivers dad worked for my granddad also for close 35 yrs to 40 yrs & could make our 79 Brigadier tandem dump w/ the 6V92 IN IT SCREAM . Thats why i like the video of the blue brigadier w/ the 6V92 IN IT . LONG LIVE THE SCREAMIN' JIMMY Detroit Diesel . Im partial to the ole Jimmy motors & Jimmy trucks as my family owned & ran them w/ the bulldogs & Acars too . later
  18. Welcome to BMT !!
  19. Would rather had the U Model Service truck than the 1 ton GMC & 1 Ton Ford Service trucks i had in the family excavating business. 1st thing id done was put a 2 stick 6 spd or air shift 6spd or 7spd in it for the on/off road use . like having that extra low gear for soft ground .
  20. Couldn't tell ya what they cost. but im sure they got the name right. i just use what the boss buys & get paid to use em in the shop & on service calls. as far as getting off topic its getting deep in here id better go put on my chest waders i coon hunt with on . Lol Trey I wouldn't be surprised of ANY PICTURE Tom (other dog) has . & randy your welcome any time .
  21. Me either Rob the last Single axle R model i seen around here was a RoadWay city tractor. seen an 87 R Model on truckpaper the other night was a single axle dump w/ a 300 & 2 stick 6spd wouldn't mind having.
  22. 1st Let me say to BMT Your in the right place for . Our Head Moderator Barry could help ya out he works in Parts @ Watts Mack in New Alexandria,Pa . (COULDN'T FIND MY Watts shirt for spelling dang it lol ) im sure if they dont have it he could get it or know where to get it . Watts Mack has A Lot of B model parts Think its a link to Watts Mack B model store somewhere here in the fourms . later aka Bulldog Man on BMT .
  23. 1st let me say to BMT . Your in the right place We all have fever here . (ITS A FEVER I WAS BORN WITH Being named after a B model ) There are plenty of folks here filled w/ Knowledge. get something to drink, pull up a chair & feel free to chat away on the fourms . I Agree i think the 6B 5.9 Hummin Cummins would be a nice fit in a B-20 . & I agree w/ SuperDog ya may want change the rear end out. my Dad took a B422t s/a tractor w/ a blown mack gas motor in it & put a 711 in it leaving the 10 spd duplex & orig 6:17 geared rear in it . for what we was doing w/ "old dog" he was perfect he would pull anything ya put on his back he was just gear bound @ 48mph to 50 mph. (if we had to move a dozer to a job in Ms, we had to use our 74' GMC 9500 Cause lil Jimmy would run @ 67mph on the interstate down in Memphis) keep us posted on your Bulldog & please post some pics when ya get time . & congrats on your find . Aka Bulldog Man on BMT.
  24. Ya James this line up Reminds me of http://http://www.jimmytwood.com @ http://www.fullendock.com In Memphis . When Mr. Jimmy was alive they were mostly w/ a few Petes & A-Cars In the line up. now it's a Mix of , KW, Westernstar , A-Cars & Pete . When my pop was alive & Had our own trucks , Myself & my family & drivers pulled alot of rock out of there. later
