Popular Post AMGeneral Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi all, Just as the title says, I have agreed to buy a 1964 B-81 tractor to go with my B-815 dump. It has 58k rears with 7.14 gears ,it’s still running 10.00 x 22 tires and it has a END 711 backed up by a quadraplex. The cab has rust in the usual places but the doors are solid, the frame is in excellent shape with no rust jacking. I forgot to take pictures, but I will post some upon recovery. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70847-buying-another-b-81sx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Binder Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 He said he would post pictures when he got it home. Maybe he hasn't picked it up yet. I'm anxious to see pictures also.

Vladislav Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 A barn find definitely! The frame rail pack looks very good. Hopefully the sheet metal is also solid and would only require cosmetic fresh up.

mowerman Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 From what I’ve seen, most of them steelnose models did local construction work didn’t travel too far on the highway, which explains a lot why the cab would be in pretty good shape my DM also pretty solid cab is extremely clean. Funny thing we all have the same problem with a steering wheels ha ha… Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70847-buying-another-b-81sx/#findComment-518593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Watts used to offer re-done steering wheels I’m not sure if they still have them. They were 500 apiece.
