tcramer49 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hello from the Sooner state! I've been in trucking for almost 40 years but never owned a Mack until now. Bought a 1986 R688ST from the original owner, has been sitting for about 20 years hope to revive it and make it into a tri-axle dump truck. Will post some pictures as soon as I learn how. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48158-new-mack-owner-from-okla/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tcramer49 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thanks for the picture info I'll try it. Been to Florida many times in my trucking career, warm and sunny all the time what's not to like. Now that I'm semi-retired we spend 2 weeks at Fort Pickens every Oct. Here is a picture when it got home now the adventure begins. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48158-new-mack-owner-from-okla/#findComment-356716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcramer49 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thanks, the odometer shows 150k, the owner said the cable broke about a year before he parked it so we guess about 200k or less.

tcramer49 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thanks j hancock, it seems to be in pretty good shape for it's age. been parked for over 20 years and not started in about 4-5 years. My first attempt to start it I discovered the starter is either bad or stuck so I'll be pulling it off shortly to replace.
