I have no relation to the seller but I know someone on here was looking for an MR. Price seemed reasonable.

Hmmm, interesting tractor.

UPDATE: Scania...never mind.

Scania powered...

Did Mack use Scania Diesels in 1980? What was last year for Scania's in Macks? Thanks Joe D.

[Joe Ditchkus]

I just looked at a spec sheet for MR it offers a 673E at 200 HP. 673's pretty bullet proof and parts avaibility better than Scania. Joe D.

Looks clean! Joe's right,not necessarily a Scania. Better get a wagon for the back end,though!!

thought in 80 they were still MB,s...bob

[Bigdogtrucker]

It's Scania powered,i've seen the truck and know the owner.

[Joe Ditchkus]

Bigdog if you are correct and I believe you are as you know the truck lots of luck to the owner on selling it. Joe D.

What's the downfall of scania? Parts or reliability? Looks good for 3k

Did the USPS tractors have Allison transmissions?

[jaysm35a2]

Yes, I believe the new Macks they run now have them also?

To bad it is not Mack powered, the cab to axle looks good for my body

[countryboy5487]

That's why it's been FS for years.If it was Mack powered i'd have snagged it a long time ago!

I know a guy that put a 673 (then a 675) in a R-400.Somehow, I don't think the swap into the MR would go so smooth! Too bad.
