That's understandable, very nice truck & trailer.

What are you asking for the tractor?

[Wiley Farm]

Are you referring to the JD840? If so it has been sold. If you are referring to the Mack "road tractor" I would like to sell truck and lowboy together.

[1977vega]

Yes, the Mack. Sorry for not clarifying that

One sharp original looking truck . Looks to be a good unit to haul J.D. equipment to shows. 

[Wiley Farm]

I have used this rig for years hauling tractors to shows. There are no issues with this truck or lowboy. Truck has all new tires with maybe 200 miles on them. As far as how much, I will entertain a reasonable offer but please I don't want to be lowballed. Some of you that have restored these old trucks just input your opinion as to what you think it is worth. I know it's hard to judge with out looking or driving. A good driver can "float" gears in this truck with no problem. With all the machinery I have here on the farm, this old boy cranks better than anything I have with an engine, in cold or hot weather. Truck will top out at about 62-65 miles an hour loaded or empty. Truck actually shifts better and rides better with my "cat 941" loaded on it.  Anyone that wishes to call is welcome to.

Okay, I need a little education here. The operator's manual shows 3 "two-way valves". Would that be tractor parking, trailer parking, and ??? My '58 H67 has one of these valves mounted below the dash; I figured that was because they added maxibrakes at some point.

There was also a wet/dry roads switch that would limit the air to the front brakes.

OK, I have been talking with several guys and I have decided to offer this truck and lowboy for what I have invested. The tractor has new tires (22.5 tubeless) and the lowboy has a new floor, new brakes, all new clearance & brake/turn lights along with new wiring all the way to the plug. Lowboy has 4 good tires (20's). Also has a new "kingpin". I have invested a total of  $17,400. I will let it go for $16,000. If I can't get at least that I will just hope maybe my grandson will want it one day.

what a steal. wish I had room for another and a few grand I didn't have tied up

[Wiley Farm]

I wish you did too maddog. I know you would respect the history of these old machines..

[Wiley Farm]

Truck and lowboy has been sold. Going to Taylors, S.C.

Thanks for everyone's input, Dale..

Good  for  you,Dale. Don't  think you  were out of line on the  price. Looked  like  a solid unit, for sure. Al

Purchased by David S.?

[Wiley Farm]

No, I would put his name on here for you but not sure he would want me to. He owns a construction company and farms "row-crops". He suppose to come today to pick it up so I will check, if its ok to tell everyone who purchased it.

I have the same lighter in the BCR. Don't  know  about  it being correct or incorrect, but  It looks period  anyway. You would be surprised  what  same items were used by different manufacturers. Found a N.O.S. one at a swap meet sitting in a box marked "Take  your  pick  $1.00". I replaced the aged one in the truck!  Al
