jessecam Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Just wondered what year and model this Mack was. It's been parked in a driveway at an abandon house for almost a year. You can tell it's a Michigan truck, pretty rusty. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45279-mack-dump-year-and-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Newer than 73 because it has a Plus 3 cab. Has the scoop for the tip turbine so it is probably an R686. Thinking around 85 or so was the last for the scoop. Probably hasn't moved because I don't see any fuel tanks. There looks to be a tank for the hydraulic oil behind the cab and an outboard air tank on the driver's side. No fuel, no move! Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Phase 1 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sounds like a previous thread. It could turn into a long one - with a good outcome.

jessecam Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 On these County trucks we put the fuel tanks behind the cab to put on under body scraper blade. Didn't know fenders were that squared on the R. What engines were available in these models.

j hancock Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 OK Hadn't thought about the scraper blade. Fairly rare deal in my neighborhood. The steel butterfly hood was available for ease of maintenance under hood when running a plow frame because there is no room left to open a standard R fiberglass hood. Because of the scoop, I think it is a 686 which would be ENDT676 engine with 285 HP. Also, probably RD model for dump truck service. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

mowerman Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 looks like an RM to me...bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45279-mack-dump-year-and-model/#findComment-333951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yeah, I thought about it but it sort of looks like a straight axle versus the driven axle of an RM. Jesse needs to swing by and read the door tag for us. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
