mowerman Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 A sucker looks like it’s ready to work. Wonder why they’re selling it get it all fixed up and then unload it. Maybe it’s one of those deals previous owner passed over to the greener side. Thanks for the post looks great.

Brocky Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) It is different from most of the oilfield trucks I have seen.. Unusual to see the 5th wheel right side up. The majority of the oilfield winch trucks I have seen had just the pin and the 5th wheel was mounted upside down on the float.. No gin poles???? What is the crosswise pipe ahead of the 5th wheel for??? Would not mind having it in my barn, BUT my checkbook is not that BIG!!!

mechohaulic Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 can't get enlarged photo. I'll wager coffee and doughnut the fifth wheel may be set up same as a yard horse(jockey) with hyd fifth wheel raise lower. lowered the winch pulls rig up chassis over 5th and on to roller in front of 5th???? flat plate wouldn't need much clearance from 5th. could possibly have 5th pin on rig to lock into B83's 5th ;; never know the ingenuity of brilliant minds in the day. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73601-62-b83sx/#findComment-542880 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truelove Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Thanks for the update PMC. I guess it was worth exactly 37.5k. John. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73601-62-b83sx/#findComment-544299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Yes, that’s the way it works. Sometimes it was a hell of a deal for that price. especially if he is going to use it on site I’ll never have to do anything to it, except maybe change the oil…bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73601-62-b83sx/#findComment-544304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
