Rob Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 In between jaunts to the auto parts, and hardware stores while working to get the IH running, I decided to get a view and some photos of these. B67 tandem tractor. Very rough but complete and runs: I tried for almost 15 years to get this truck from the original owner whom was "always" going to work with it one he got it running. He has since passed. His boy now has it, got it running in 2005, parked it where it is and will sell it to you for $5000.00 "cash money". It last was licensed in 1990.

Rob Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Been trying to acquire this "RL" for quite some time and I'm assured when he is "done with it", I'll get the call.

Rob Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 This always was a pretty nice tractor; basic but functional. I think he should have put a little more "detail" into the finished product before offering it up for sale.The price is "non negotiable".

Rob Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Cool pics you know the specs on the BNon turbocharged 673 with a duplex, 5.77 rears. Original flat back cab that is cut out for the sleeper. Mice have destroyed everything soft in the tractor, and sleeper. The insides wreak of infestation. I've known the truck since about 82 and heard it running at idle many years ago. If I remember correctly, it was smoking blue at idle. Used to haul steel, then grain.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Pretty Wild! A 67 with flat cab and tandem with enough wb for a sleeper??!! Who would have thunk it. Any signs of frame splices?Around here there was a B673 with a massive turbo replacing the original and the tandem almost started at the back of the cab.Ahhh.....Clearly Momma supplies the looks in the family!I'm certain it was spliced as JM Steel out of Gary, IN, and Chicago was the original owner and they only ran short day cabs. This truck still has "JMS" branded into one of the tires. A local farmer then purchased the truck in the mid 1960's, installed the sleeper, and hauled general freight in the winter. It then went to hauling grain for the rest of it's service life.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Green Dash Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Don't hate me for this, but the White 4000 is my favorite of the truck pics. I agree, he could've done something to bring the interior up to the same standard as the exterior.It looks as if your granddaughter is about to do a swan dive to get her bottle. My girls had a sixth sense that told them there was a bottle nearby, even when they couldn't see it.

Greg Rider Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Are Nikki and the baby doing good? I know that there were some concerns a while back and just want to be sure everything is good. I'm not wanting to pry into your personal life too much but I do think about them often. Tell momma I said hi. Things are stupid busy at work,, paperwork, then memos, then paperwork to prove I got the paperwork and memos. Gotta work this Memorial day so no parades this year till July,,but on the good side 17 hours of holiday pay!!!! Lynn just started with the Red Cross 3 weeks ago. I'm glad she is back to work and happy at her job. Quote #1 on A-model registryIf I drink because of work, why can't I drink at work?

This is one the photos make it look nicer than it is up close. My uncle says it runs well, but I did not hear it. It has been for sale for quite a spell I'm told.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

41chevy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nice photo of your Grand daughter!I thought WOW, that White is pretty nice, a little paint on the chassis and go. The interior is a "Good" selling point, like a beautiful woman with one broken green tooth.

I'm glad she is back to work and happy at her job.Hi Greg, yes Nikki, and Kinley are both doing quite well. She is starting to discover mobility and this is a whole new chapter. Although requiring about 30 seconds to move six inches, that time is quite short if not payed much attention to. Got her own personality starting too!! I took her for her first 4 Wheeler ride yesterday at the property, but didn't head off into the woods as if I'd have hurt that kiddo, there would have been a debt to pay I can't afford; (I'll never forget "the boys"). I'm at work today also. Never turn down "double time" as I need truck money. I drove back last evening and "Momma", Nikki, and Kinley will be back tonight. Glad to hear you and Lynn are starging to ascend. Certainly was a bit dark there for a while. Had time to work with "Faith" lately? Don't think I'll break into nine trucks ever again myself as I get nothing done on short order......I'm prolly gonna be not far from you and Larry sometime mid week. Be a short turn around, (as usual) but let's see if we can get dinner in. Give me a call later tonight if possible.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nice photo of your Grand daughter! I thought WOW, that White is pretty nice, a little paint on the chassis and go. The interior is a "Good" selling point, like a beautiful woman with one broken green tooth. That White will probably need paint stripped and refinished. There are two places where it is bubbling under the paint that did not start from chips in the coating. The aluminum plate on the rear of the cab? I didn't look very good or close but I've sectioned enough of those cab lower panels to know what is under it........ I'm very fond of both those girls.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
