Popular Post doubleclutchinweasel Posted August 18, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2023 This has to be one of my favorites!

Popular Post doubleclutchinweasel Posted August 18, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2023 This particular (1965) one is a good reference, because it shows the "standard" configurations of 2 different R600 models, and it has the second page which shows options. You can see the optional engines, transmissions, and clutches...among other things...on the 2nd page. For instance, it shows the ENDT-673C engine option for the R611. Wish I had a bunch of these in person! 3 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Also probably why Rob thought it was a single axle the way you explained it six Wheel truck dual drive 607 straight frame very interesting … hung around in Mac dealerships from 83 to 90. When I ran my own truck that was about it. I went to work for somebody after that but I saw quite a few of those brochures ordinarily hanging on the wall show room or parts department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
