Mackdaddy2030 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It was me. I was wondering who was taking me picture yesterdayLol, I always wondered if people could notice if I was trying to take pictures.That's a sweet ride. What motor is in it? I couldn't scope it out too much cause I was trying to take the picture, but is it spring or air ride?

Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted October 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thought this Christiansen RD was an old DW&IJ truck, but then I looked closer and it is a 2004 Legend Edition. For some reason I always thought they only came in black. I'm not too sure what all the extras are for that package. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/65/#findComment-262859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted October 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2014 On Friday I saw the Kamp RD again and I saw the LIMA Exc CH. Not a big CH fan but this is a pretty cleantruck by the looks of it. Better than 90% of the other CH's that are hauling gravel around here. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/65/#findComment-263067 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody454 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 no more hoppers at yard 19 - just get loaded by the pile...if you dump dirt you have to drive under a conveyor that dumps screenings all over your hood and cab and drive through ruts that would eat a pickup truck all the way to the bottom.

Popular Post PeterMack Posted October 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2014 I saw this Superliner the other day and then again this morning. I think its out of Rockford. I see he has two differentwagons. Clean one owner, never off roaded...probably not. Looks like it has seen better days. I hope he is on theclock because that full frame Fruehauf has got to be heavy. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/65/#findComment-263189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchhopper Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 You would be surprised at how light those fruehaufs are we had four steel ones and one aluminum quarter frame at Clearwater farms we used them all the time.

RSD501 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I was going through some old stuff of my grandpas. He had purchased some internationals from Lewis IH in the late seventies or early eighties. Apparently they gave out these with the purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/65/#findComment-263265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted October 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2014 Saw a Dimond R model at Elburn today.And then we got done early so I went to check out the new Granite MHD that DeKalb County Highway Department just got in. They ordered two but one of them had problems on the way out here so it had to go back. They are thinking the computer went bad already, not a good sign. They have to wait till that one comes back before they both get sent to Monroe for the rest of the equipment. Prob won't be till Febuary before they are done.Has the Cummins engine with Allison automatic.Kinda wired that the windsheild washer fluid resivoir is on the back of the cab. The filter under the cab will be a pain to change once ther have the liquid tank put on.Not to sure how all the electronics for the emissions are gonna hold up being that close to the ground and the side wing. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/65/#findComment-263285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted October 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2014 I saw a Gemco supply RB today out of Bellwood IL. I've seen a few of these running around and I think they have an RB semialso. They are always spotless when I've seen them. Saw a crane putting up a section of wall on a building and I spotteda Baker R model later in the afternoon. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/65/#findComment-263445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchhopper Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I drove an RB for welch for two years it was always the cleanest best taken care of R model in the gravel fleet until they put me in a loader this year its a shame to see it now I think it may have been washed once this year.
