I think the parts are resonable, we snapped an axle in our other mack 2 days after we crashed one. That was a sunday, monday mourning we had to go 17 miles and had one by 830 am for $240. Took 2 hours to change and back to hualing dirt. We have a line on a cab in jersey 2k for a complete cab, everything in it. This will be on the wrecked truck.

I had an 85-300 as a beet truck. Great in the fields, just walk it out of the dirt - kept good pace with the harvester. Sold it, along with the 3 Oliver tractors, 2 harvesters, with the farm a month ago.

I bought an '89 RD690 tandem for the company I work for two years ago. It had the EM6-300 with a 7 speed (two on the low side and five direct) 48K rears (5.11 gears), on Camelback suspension. It is used off road to spread lime and fertilizer, I think the most we can get on it is 16T. The truck is no speed wagon but it won't get stuck and will crawl across any western PA hill. I bought it from Martin's Farm trucks in Chambersburg, not a bad price at $18K. Then I caught a bunch of slack from the company bean counter for buying an old truck, he thought I should have used a newer and a Freightshaker road tractor w/tractor air ride suspension.....don't even get me started.
