    I have a 1979 r model with a endt676 300 series engine with 285hp.The transmission is the trxl107-low hold 5 speed.The rear ratio is 4.17.My question is to get more of a top speed.The truck tops out now at about 65,i would like to be able to cruise at 70.What ratio will I need? Thanks.

    Trump

    hicrop10 replied to david wild's topic in Odds and Ends

    Just my thoughts but Trump and the whole Republican party better get their heads out of their ass or this country is going to be in the sh*ter for a long time. I don't want to even think of that b*tch being in the White House.The last thing that that no good son of a b*tch we have now is going to do before he leaves office is to give her a pardon. Again just my thoughts.

    Great looking barn.The father's day gift is great also,was it just a one and done or could more be had?

    Those tires are around $12,000-$15,000 range. Back when me and my brothers were in business we were paying about $6000 for tires and they were for the cat 773 trucks,the trucks pictured are 777.773's 60tons,777 100 tons.

    That machine is storage bin for the paver.It holds about 3 loads of the asphalt in it so the paver has a continuous supply of material,it makes for a better road and the contractor doesn't need as many trucks.

    Yaworski B87 could be the twin to mine,it even has the big square radiator top tank.Which museum are these trucks in?Would like to visit.

    I know he also have a couple of b61's as water trucks.He just stated a big dirt job at the ABE airport and is using his 50 year old Euclid belly dumps.

    I have seen both of them at that yard.The yard is an old asphalt plant.

    Tell Herbie I'll come down and show you some pointers and running a lowboy.Nothing hard about it,it just like anything.Just got to make sure you have enough chains and binders.It's not like it was back in the good old days,i remember taking D9's with blade and rippers intact and taking them out to Maryland with no chains and binders at all,just put a 12x12 block behind the track.

    Great pic,wasn't able to make this year.The good thing is I was able to get some work done on the b87.
  15. hicrop10
    I have seen it around town.
  16. hicrop10
    Does the yard go by the name of A&A salvage .
  17. hicrop10
    I can remember those trucks.We did the site work for the Hunt Valley Mall back in 1979-80.We were based out of philly.

    Motorwood,I'll be out in Fredrick in 2 weeks would like to go by that junkyard and see if the B's are still there.Thanks Mike Durkin
  19. hicrop10
    I will be calling the museum next week,to see what they can get me.I will ask for both the B61's and the B80's series.

    Has anyone ever tried to have the floor panals for the b model remade.It doesn't appear that they would be all that tough to make.I'm sure someone on this site would have the skill to do something like this.I would be interested in the panals for my B87 the only difference on the B80's is the step down they have.
  21. hicrop10
    Enjoy your day,it only comes around once a year.
  22. hicrop10
    That the only way to do it.Did that with mine .Keep the photos coming your off on the right foot.Good luck.

  24. hicrop10
    My main trans is aTR1310 with a 3 speed aux. trans.
  25. hicrop10
    My B87 has a 5 speed with an aux.trans and 9.10 ratio and I top at at 72.Now my mpg was around 4-5 empty and about 2-3 loaded.
