Mackdaddy2030 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 1 1/2 weeks with Plote's CATs on the road, and three of them down. One had Trans problems, one the air conditioner died and third not too sure about. Guess CAT gave them a loaner and said just hold on to it, like they know there will be more problems.

Popular Post Nobody454 Posted July 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2015 here are a few saved on my phone. the six wheeler is a Naperville Excavating DM I think. The white r model says Aldridge Electric on the door, but it doesn't ever move. The red r model said Bouldevard Sales on the door, but it was really trashed 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/95/#findComment-295332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted July 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2015 Looks like Nissen brought one of their old R-model back out to play. This used to be their lowboy truck until they got their Granite.It must have been in a barn because I have not seen it in years. Looks like its got a new plate coming, still looks to be in decent shape. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/95/#findComment-295980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
