macknutt Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Caught this Pro-Excavating RD heading south on 1st Ave after just leaving the dirt dump. Looks like theytook a little time with a paint job and some signage. A lot of detail compared to most dump trucks around here anymore.That Pro-Excavating is out of Chicago at I-55 and Pulaski across from the Burger King. His lowboy tractor is a Scani.

RSD501 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 That's right, thanks for jogging my memory. I have seen that Scania a couple times down Archer Ave, gotta be the only one in northern IL.Petersen Excavating in Gurnee has a Scania roll off truck. Cabover, I think it might be 300 horse with a nine speed. i will see if I can get a picture of it.

yarnall Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 yup, sweet truck. id love that have that one Mike hint hint hahaYes, that RL is my father's. It is an RL712LST. It has a 300plus and a 9 speed(?). He fell in love with it in California and had it shipped back. I am not a fan of the yellow and black paint job. You'll have to talk to him about it. Maybe he will leave it to you in his will.

There was a picture of a lineup of B models taken in front of a stone pile at Algonquin (Yd. 5). I just thought they were B-61's.Guess I never really thought about it.I go back to work on Monday,I am going to ask around the whereabouts of that picture.Interesting!!

james j neiweem Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 BCR as I remember they were B-63"s with the turbo 205's. Sweet smooth sounding engines. Could have been B-613's. I am thinking they had about 5 or 6 of them. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/25/#findComment-175263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
