RowdyRebel Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm more confused about the aluminum rim on one steer tire while the other steer tire is mounted on steel. Unless the dealer is known for selling junk, it seems like they'd at least TRY to have matching rims on the truck.

thomastractorsvc Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I seen that set up on AG stuff too, it was to allow them to run in between the rows. Did you see it only has six bolts holding the fifth wheel on and two bolts missing from the rear suspension mounts. AND only one fan belt Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

bulldog man Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 This truck is in Wynne ,AR. which about an hour & half West of Me . Eastern Arkansas has a lot of Rice fields so yes my guess is this Western R Model was set up for Agricultural work possibly in the rice fields . as I have seen this kind of setup before on farm trucks w/ floats on the steer axle & super singles on the drives in Arkansas & Ms deltas . & yes I agree this truck should not be exported . : Quote You Cant Fix Stupid.

jakebrake86 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I stopped and looked at that truck the other day. It's right down the road from my girlfriend's house. There's six r models and one dm there. They're all pretty rough, and it appears they all came from IL, by the lettering on the doors. The guys that have them are super nice and honest people, though.

umodelnut Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Man that is one sweeeeeet truck. Besides them back wheels. They have them on some CH's up here that haul cow crap and the tankers have big tires like them. They are loud going down the road. Youd think an airplane is flying over. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32544-never-seen-this-before/#findComment-202721 Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy5487 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I saw that it was well lubed lol. I always like the western look. It maybe a lil rough around the edges but compaired to what im used to around here (rust and caked with coal mine mud) it looks pretty good to me Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32544-never-seen-this-before/#findComment-202804 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I had a picture of a big Mack manure spreader, but I must have deleted it. Long wheelbase R model with manure spreader body and tractor type tires on the rears. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post jakebrake86 Posted September 4, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2013 Here's a few pics from the other day when the girlfriend and I stopped and looked at these. My favorite was the old '66 R model with the triplex in it, except for the big funky plate welded to the outside of the frame rail from front to back. 6 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32544-never-seen-this-before/#findComment-203624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
