markpwhit Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Will do weather permitting tomorrow. Expecting more snow - but will see what I can do.

umodelnut Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 You bought it? Awesome. Please take good care of her for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markpwhit Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Vinny..........I will most definitely give this one a good home - as I just recently built an outbuilding to get it out of the weather.\Also to anyone who could help.........Does anybody know what kind of top speed I could expect with this unit (4.17 rear). Haven't really driven it down the road yet - but am interested in what to expect.Thanks in advance..............Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty close to 67 at 2400 on 20" rubber,I'd guess without doing the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markpwhit Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yes it is a six speed w/ 24.5's. Really like the direct six speed as it is lot easier transmission to work vs. the duplex in my B42. Again..........thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Blaylock Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Depending on how many RPMs your turning low to mid 70s without doing the math Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 2100 rpm w/4.17 and 24.5 tires is 66mph which is certainly going to be better than the B-42 speed. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 the old duplexes behind the gasjob B42's do take a little getting use to, you definitely cant shift them as easy as the bigger 72 series duplexes in the diesels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead204 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 damn a v-8 in a u model, its going to need a kickstand real bad!!! if every thing came together just right it could lay over just by releasing the clutch!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markpwhit Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Kickstand not required............I only put fuel in the passenger side tank as a counterweight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoos Brothers Construction Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Glad to see it went to a good home. Need a picture of that next to my RS795 at one of the shows. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Looks like you already started selling rides to the "Full Figured Women!", I see you accept all the major credit cards on that side of the truck, I guess that means no kick stand???You can get these for the mud flaps 1 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

markpwhit Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Dam!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so cold that day that the rattle can froze up and I couldn't get the acceptable forms of payment covered. Larry..................yes I am going to make every attempt to get it to Ashland this year with the B model. It was a pleasure to meet you last year during the "slowest truck" competition. I thought I had a pretty good chance with the B42.Thanks to all for your interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
