Field Trip Friday!!

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?

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

Now your building a mystery. 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?

What could you carry in a dump bed without a gate and retain it with the tarp?
 

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.

Took another look at body-looks  like it  has latches to secure load cover.  Silage of some sort- for  sure some sort of lightweight material.

Oh -Casino?  Cash?😎

you guys never hauled rocks ??? real rock bodies don't have gates, well maybe for a day or two.

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?

yes they would be beat to death. and rock bodies are not made of aluminum, or have tarps either

it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

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. 

that's what I was thinking.

Enjoy Bob, I went up and played with it a bit and took some pics. 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.

Owners name was Steve Mohr. He was indeed from Chicago. Got the truck, as built, from a truck auction in California. He kept it up here as a play toy at his Minocqua resort, retired and turned it over to Scott to sell.
