FOR SALE Attn: garbagemen

[refusegetter]

Selling one restorable "leach refuse getter" from the 1940's later model rg, post war. If your garbageman who is serious about bringing back a classic this is a great start. Body only located in Rhode Island. To me this body is worth 5g all day, try to find another...

Now thats different and cool. Looks small enough that you could put it on a sngle axle tractor frame

Looks like this back in the day:

Very cool.

Here's ours before we shortened the frame

How did it empty? Does the back lift up like a modern garbage truck?

[refusegetter]

The whole truck was run by a single cylinder, which operated a rack and pinion which drove a chain to lift the rear bucket. To dump the non compacted trash you would hook chains to the rear bucket that would open the rear door. When the door was open you would lock the rack and run the cylinder and the whole body would lift like a dump truck.
