Popular Post thomastractorsvc Posted January 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2015 Well took the R out for a drive today up in the 40s nice weather for the next couple of days than back to the cold for another month, so I thought I would take advantage go blow some smoke. I drove over to my wife's work to drop off a something she forgot at home. I made a short video and will get it posted as soon as it up loads.

Green Dash Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Love that view over the hood. These days, I have to lean over the steering wheel to see the dog.Lemme guess: your wife forgot her umbrella and you insisted on bringing it to her despite the absence of clouds in the sky. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38457-1980-r-686st-out-getting-the-dust-and-cob-webs-knocked-off/#findComment-274463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you didn't have a flatbed to load it on.65 mph @about 1950 rpms-what rear ratio is that? The 4.00's I drove would've been right at 2100.

thomastractorsvc Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 4.17 rears set up for 60 mph on 4% grade, if running against the governor will do about 74, two stick six, if it had tall 11R 24.5 it probably pass the off brands on the highway! 2 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
