Nobody454 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 the ones I've seen, you can dig the material out with an excavator, and gently push on the floor with the bucket and it will sit back down. the ones with the draft arms backwards into the suspension of the tractor don't usually "gently" come down 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/140/#findComment-381686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen one do this as they pulled it forward with a chain with no oil in the hoist the box slams down pushing the tractor into what they are pulling it forward with it was pretty comical for me and real costly for the owner of the truck. All I could do is shake my head in disbelief and remind myself these people drive the same roads as my wife and kids. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/140/#findComment-381697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Dont see many mid 80s R models with the roof mount AC unit. seams most were the underdash style Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/140/#findComment-382974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody454 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 i guess 1 of the rattletrap RDs lost 3rd and 7th gear and then started leaking trans oil faster than they could put it in...so they swapped the plates to the R and went back to work!
