Pikey Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hello I have a 91 MLR686RST and was wondering if the letters stood for any significant ? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39838-what-letters-stand-for-eg-mlr686rst/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_martell Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Is the truck Model Number? I'm willing to bet it means something, I'm just not sure what we're talking about Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

j hancock Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Not up on Australian models, so my guess is right hand drive ML tandem with a 300 engine.

Superdog Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Isn't a MLR the one that they used the 500 series Brockway cab on ?? Like Jim said,the 6 means it's a model 600,86 is the code for a ENDT676 Maxidyne engine,R is right hand drive,ST dual drive tractor Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39838-what-letters-stand-for-eg-mlr686rst/#findComment-288299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve p Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 never heard of a mlr ,mir yes ......mi =cab style, r stands for r model chassis, 686 maxidyne 300 ,rst six wheel tractor [34000 lb rear end] Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39838-what-letters-stand-for-eg-mlr686rst/#findComment-288355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I thought the R in MR was for refuse And the C in MC was for a different application. Maybe I'm just confusing this with the dump/mixer designation for the DM.....

steve p Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 green dash the coding in the states is different to what we have here in oz example ch cl we have chr clr they are based on the r model chassis then we have the ch which is the later chassis, the f model are called the f r 700 here it uses a r model chassis, our super liner also uses the r model chassis as does the mh [early ones] Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39838-what-letters-stand-for-eg-mlr686rst/#findComment-288365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
