Popular Post Mack Technician Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 Heading up to Scott's on Friday to roam the chrome with Big Boss. He wants a CV713, Gold Dog, AI460, in Cherry Red, for hauling the wood butcher. Ends up the emissions friendly versions of his logging equipment, along with better creature comforts, is adding a considerable amount of extra weight to his haul and tipping the scale on his weight permits. While scrolling I saw this really nice MH. Anyone interested to the degree you want me to snap some more pics or check anything on it? It's a sharp little unit, looks like someone took really nice care of it and kept it away from anything salty. $27,500. Dave W. will be excited about that...... 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/59570-field-trip-friday/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidyne Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 That MH has been listed for quite a while. Being as cabover dump trucks are rare, I've always wondered if it was originally built for some other application and later turned into a dump. The 9 speed Eaton trans is odd for a dump truck too... What's it got for an engine? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/59570-field-trip-friday/#findComment-434731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody454 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 H J Mohr was a big redimix co back in the day here in chicago. They shut the doors last year. Wonder if that's a relative, or something like that. Same paint scheme as the company trucks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/59570-field-trip-friday/#findComment-434757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both- hi cab over, short wheelbase and a short very high body with no gate!- Never saw an MH before in dump service.

The town, Lac Du Flambeau is inside a Lake Superior Chippewa Indian Reservation? Not much in common with a Chicago Redimix Co..... The Rez sovereign nation allows long term land leases to the white man. It’s nice lake country, large casino (Lake of the Torches), high-dollar resorts. Surrounded by resort towns like Minocqua. Illinois owns the Northbound lanes on Friday and Southbound lanes on Sunday afternoon. Possible H J had a resort and/or built them up there and kept a toy box? Not uncommon. Trying to figure out why the exhaust appears to run into a blank faced diamond plate box and then out the rear of it?

Quickfarms Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 What could you carry in a dump bed without a gate and retain it with the tarp? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/59570-field-trip-friday/#findComment-434779 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree debris removal? Only thing I’ve seen that kind of box used for. Usually that box would be longer and sit behind a mid-ship log grapple loader with spatula paddles on the grapple jaws. Our dealer would set up that style rigging for emergency cleanup after a Katrina event.

I'll agree, undeniably, you operate in a world of outrageously over-sized loads with Wild Heavy Hauling, but if you want to convince me this baby is street legal I'm going to need a confirming opinion from a State Trooper...… kidding aside, wouldn't rocks, like decorative boulders, have the box interior beat/dented to a bloody pulp and that slide-liner torn out?

david wild Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 OH contraire some of the best rock bodies are made of aluminum, I started in dirt business too but learned hauling bulldozers did pay as well as buildings and the such, oh and the customers actually pay.

tjc transport Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 but that body is way to thin for hauling anything big. with the tarp system, my bet is mulch or something similar. takes up a lot of space, but not heavy.

When I get around my lack of data I'll upload a cool pic of the wet tank blank-out box he built. Very clever.

He kept it up here as a play toy at his Minocqua resort, retired and turned it over to Scott to sell.
