Popular Post frictionman Posted March 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2014 I found this DM 800 and talked to the owner. He bought the truck for its oil field winch body and has no need for the truck and does not know anything about it. The vin is DM809SX1176. It has a non turbo 6 diesel and 2 stick tranny plus an auxillery box with huge top mounted pto. It has 14.00-24 tires and odo says 109k. I don't know the year or what this engine is. I just know it is for sale and I am working on a price with him. Sure would like to know more about it. Thanks 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nice find! Its its an 809 then it would have had a 711 motor from the factory. You said it still has the non turbo motor so it probably has the 711 still. The truck is a 65-72 id say for the year since it has a steel dash, DM800 emblem, and the non turbo 711. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nice find! It is an early model with a total production of 527 units for model 809. Your example was the 175th unit built. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Pre-1968....... no side markers. It looks like a beast of a truck. 1 Quote "If it's all the sime to you... I'll droyve that tankah" Max Rockatansky (The Road Warrior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff M Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) If there's anything that looks like it means business it's a DM 800, and that big bumper doesn't hurt either. Big single airhorn, too. That gizmo on the driver's side fender just adds to the general panache. Who needs twin stovepipe stacks? I hope you end up with that big ol' fella.

frictionman Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Guys, thanks for the info! I already have a DMM686 (or 685, cant remember off the top of my head) and it is a monster winch truck/semi tractor. I mechanic on pipeline jobs so I find lots of cool treasures. My problem is I have already bought too many of them and I am about out of room. I will work a price out with this guy soon and if I cant get it, I will surely give you all a heads up. I dont have the means to get the photo that I want in my profile box but I hope to soon. This is a great forum and I am enjoying reading along. Hope I can contribute more soon. Btw, this truck is in Elk City OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmackb Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 like Jim says, it is an early one. I would say 1967-68.The oil filter on top of the fender is a 'WGB', called an Oil Clarifier. They were standard on Mack engines from about 1963 until the ESI system was released around 1972, at a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 That a sweetheart,if you don't buy it please let us know. That PTO on top the aux.trans. was called a power tower,very common on the old oilfield rigs for running winches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frictionman Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I took the pics of the engine and tranny tags so I could put them on my pc and blow them up to possibly read them. I cant read them on this phone. I have no idea what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frictionman Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 My dmm 600 tops out at 49 with 11.00-20s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The engine tag says mfg date 8-1977 on it. Some swapping has taken place. The original 711 must have been damaged and they took it out.Check the timing case in front of the injection pump to see what it has for numbers to identify or see if you can clean the tag up some more. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

terry Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Isn't 77 early enough to have been replaced with a 711?Sure has the old style crankcase breather. Don't know if the early 237's had that style of breather. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It may still have a 711 in it. The Mack replacement engine date is newer than the truck build date.I think the early 711 had the large head bolts in the corners and this one looks to be the same.My "eyeometer" may be off though. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
