Popular Post Joseph Cummings Posted 5 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 5 hours ago Famous truck in the Kentucky Coalfields. Crazy Big Cat power. I seem to remember it being a 3500 series industrial. The last I heard it was in pieces in MMI's yard 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74797-mining-machinery-inc-rd800-cat-powered/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's adjustable, if it's like the ones I used it's hydraulic. It probably uses the Fifth wheel that takes the large pin. Or like some I've pulled the pins were swappable. I think that orange DM800 that has the Bethlehem Steel on the door has the big fifth wheel on it, or at least it did when it worked at the mill. McHugh sometimes used one of these Cline Prime Movers that they built from off road dumps to pull trailers like that with the tall gooseneck 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74797-mining-machinery-inc-rd800-cat-powered/#findComment-562638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Cummings Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago I just checked, it had a Cat 3412 engine in it. The story is that they wanted Carter Machinery to install it, and Carter refused, so they did it in their own shop. Carter Machinery is a super huge Cat dealer in that area 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74797-mining-machinery-inc-rd800-cat-powered/#findComment-562640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
