CML Service Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Finally after 10 months in the barn my B61 has been converted to a truck tractor. I'm now working on the last items on the punch list but I did get to take it for a ride pulling my dump trailer. It felt good and I'm very happy I spent the time and money to convert the air system to a primary and secondary system like newer trucks with relay valves. Now the brake timing is perfect for pulling a newer trailer also spring brakes on all four rears makes you feel confident. The power isn't much but I guess thats what the quad box is for. Having working gauges is also a plus and even with a 7.00 rear ratio 50+ MPH on a secondary road was no problem (untill you hit a hill). I'll try to post some pictures soon.
