1997 Mack MR688 Tractor

[CaptainCrutch]

Don’t see too many MR tractors, most seem to end up as garbage trucks, so figured I’d post this one I found here. So far bidding is only at $250, not too bad. Seems to be Ex-USPS. No AC. Not mine (obviously, I’m east coast and this is in AZ).

You want it and buy it, I'll go get it and store it in my lot for a month or so till you get it picked up. You got one why stop at just one? I'm sure it is rust free to start with.

Noticed there is almost a full tank of fuel in it, that is about $600 by itself. OK idle oil pressure and it makes air, all good signs.

Best (american) tractor ever for urban trucking! This is probably one of the last of the USPS MRs, most were replaced with CXs in 2006. Has 300HP engine and HT740 Allison and Eaton rear on air ride, but still rides awful. No AC or even a radio, but had automatic lubrication system. Might be a good deal, but 20 years old.
