DM-800 6x6
mowerman replied to ppsyclone's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
You know now that I think about it those things were so hefty I am surprised a lot of them were not all wheel drive they actually look like they should be I have a model of one I bought 20 years ago and only finished maybe 1/3 of it the rest of it is still sitting in the box interested in finishing it one of these days ha ha ..

Also make sure you pump up the hand pump on the fuel line Make sure all the air is out otherwise it’s not going to start

After sitting all that time I would remove all the injectors and shoot a bunch of mystery oil into the cylinders And let it sit a few days also remove the top oil line to turbo charger and shoot down there also and make sure pull off the shroud and spin the turbo charger several times by hand and make sure it is free and not Frozen before you do anything else good luck

I’ve never seen one but I’m sure they are out there since most of them were built for heavy haul and a lot of off road work.. I know of one out here DM 800 dump truck been sitting in the same area for 26 years that I know of looks like it’s in pretty good shape drives me crazy to see it just sitting should be in my yard lol Bob -
You could be raking it in with a unit like that especially word of mouth business

Oooooooooooo ya I’ll bet I was looking at a 63 galaxy in Tennessee couple years ago real good price but I didn’t even bother going any further way too expensive to transport

That is a really big problem especially coast to coast

Used to see B models all the time $1800-$ 2200 … now they seem to all start at around $5000

Growing up back there I really used to enjoy watching JP noonan trucks and shawmutt transportation they both had gorgeous equipment I was really surprised I was in Peabody Massachusetts about 10 years ago and saw a JR Noonan tanker on route one and I was surprised it was still painted the same colors but it was a T800 kenworth After all these years the paint didn’t look any different.. bob
