Popular Post JoeH Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Turns out this U685T model shares the frame layout and bolt pattern that my '79 R686ST has from the front to the crossmembers before the rear suspension. We're stripping it down, cutting and splicing the frame to repair our R model, then scrapping anything we don't need and you guys don't want. Rear axle, transmission, anything on the cab.... Dont care about getting anything for it, just don't want everything we don't need to get scrapped.

JoeH Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Fuel tanks, someone please take them. Air tanks, have a spare hood that's in great shape. All I plan to keep is frame, engine, and power steering. Trans will likely get kept if no one wants. Aluminum 5 speed behind the 237.

yarnall Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Where are you? Is the radiator up for grabs? Any guess if it will fit in an R685? Thanks. Mike.

yarnall Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I might be interested in the rear too depending where you are. Thanks again. Mike. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62333-parting-out-u685t/#findComment-450192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickfarms Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Do you have a 9 x 20 air tank? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62333-parting-out-u685t/#findComment-450199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Apologies, Southeastern PA. Chalfont to be precise. Planning on gutting the truck this week, so I'll PM my cell # to interested parties. Don't want claimed pieces to sit here long, so I'd prefer local boys to pick things up promptly, helps me keep from tripping over things.

steelman Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I would be I interested I the cab and doors. Hood also if available. Could pickup with gooseneck trailer or rollback if you have a way to load.

JoeH Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Radiator would fit an r685, at least 2 of my R's, my DM, and this U model all have the same radiator. Late 60's to '80. Not sure if the radiator in my 1988 R690 is the same, I know my 95 RD is different. Check your messages.

Take your pick, 1970s Case wheel loader, 1964? Oliver white 2-44FL, or late 1960s or early 1970s R685ST crane. Cab is really rough, but if you want it I'll be gentle. My dad plowed with the truck for years. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62333-parting-out-u685t/#findComment-450206 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb73lt Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) What’s it have for a rear end? Specifically the carrier and ratio. I’m looking for a CRD 117 in about a 4.50 ratio. But, I’d take the whole axle if it’s easier.

Let me know if Yarnell doesn’t take it as could come down and get it anytime.
