teleman Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I didnt get to talk to anyone yet but I thought they maybe used the right tank for gas for the crane unit...left tank had a diesel sticker on it.....Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobblin-Goblin Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'd like to know how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm in love. Looks like the hard stuff has been done already. If you can't toss an angry cat through the holes in the fendors on an 8 series Mack you are doing great!It would be neat to play around with that rig for sure. I too wonder how much, not that I have the coin for it now...Those rear fenders are almost exactly what I want to make for my 815...Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Dang, that's cool. Might have to go drive by it. I was just over that way Saturday talking with Joe McIlvane.

Gmerrill0516 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I noticed that this ruck has the big tall top (sheet metal?) tank on the radiator. I typically think of that radiator being on a B-87 and that an 83 shares the same radiator as the B-815, having the big radiator but the cast tank which is shorter and of course widths are the same being the wide unit and not the narrow one on B-81 trucks...What drove the use of the BIG tank? Was it optional and or specified based upon the location and intended service of the unit?Whats the deal on these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) that sure is one handy machine right there. I wonder why it says GAS on the fuel tank tho??????if you enlarge the picture the green tag on hte driver side tank says ultra low sulfur diesel fuel only.so as was already said, the passenger side tank is probablt for the rear mount crane Edited July 14, 2015 by tjc transport Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Job41 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I must admit I am a greenhorn. With that said, my question is this; What are the differences between the B81 and the B83 and then again a B87? Are the differences in the radiator, cooling systems, engine manufacturers? Is there a book out there that can detail for me the differences in the models?

j hancock Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Different engines.Take a look and open the attached file and it will give the breakdown of engines used.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/tutorials/article/12-b-model-engine-data/ Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

hicrop10 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 My b87 has that big top tank.It has a Cummins in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Job41 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Thank you for the link to the pdf listing models and engines. Is there another breakdown list of the other model features? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 There isn't one list that will do all that but check out the BMT Wiki because there is a ton of info located there.Click Wiki in the BMT toolbar and you can scroll through for transmission info, general info and then a good amount of specific model info for C615, B61, etc. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

bwoolbr Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I believe the Radiator is due to engine choice. Standard B83 had a 220 cummins. This one was special ordered with a 335. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 X was for heavy duty or severe duty.Example. B83SX is a six wheel, heavy duty chassis for dump service or low boy tractor service. B83ST is a six wheel tractor. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I believe the Radiator is due to engine choice. Standard B83 had a 220 cummins. This one was special ordered with a 335.I believe that is the reason. The X designation isn't enough to drive it as a B-81SX would not have even the big radiator or the big top tank that goes with the '87 or special order engines. My next question is would a "typical quadbox" be capable of handling the 335 or would the trans be special order as well?Still have that B-81 wrecker bwoolbr?

j hancock Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Years ago, I had a B833ST with a 335 and quad box. I believe that the 335 was OEM but never checked to be sure. It had the wider radiator than the B81 but it did not have the larger top tank. Pretty sure the trans was a TRQ720. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Freightrain Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 What was the torque rating of tri/quad? What was the rating of the 335? I suppose it was rated at 1500-2100 rpm?Did Mack only add the double/triple countershaft boxes after they made the maxidyne motors? Lugging them down to 1100 rpm.

j hancock Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It was around 900 lbs at 1600 rpm.Looked at a F763ST 335 hp that had a TRT 7220 and it was all original equipment from Mack. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
