Thanks again for all of your time helping this farmer/ builder into his first dump!
Navistar- I'm not sure if I know what you mean by split rims. Oddly, it did have matching tires for the duallies on the passenger side, but the drivers side rear duallies didn't match each other, nor either of the other sides!
Frankly, that's the least of my concerns.
As I may have said: it didn't dump! Seller claims this is just a stuck cable and easy fix. I'm inclined to believe him, but if its such an easy fix- why would you try to sell a dump truck that doesn't dump??
(Seller owns a tractor dealership, and seems to have dozens of random trucks and other vehicles on this lot that he scored at auctions, in trades, or whatever... This old truck doesn't seem like its worth his time.)
Also- no glow plugs or block heater... ?
Also, I guess, normal?
But my truck, tractor, and car all have glow plugs- I guess I though you needed them- especially in Vermont!
And lastly, seemed to be leaking fluid from a hose in the front. ATF, maybe? But not from the regular ATF resevoir. There were more resevoirs than I could make sense of- but it didn't seem to be power steering.
I won't have time to get back to the truck this week, but I'm pretty sure its not going anywhere, and hopefully next week or weekend I can get back down there and get it up to speed on the open road and feel it shift.
I don't think I'll be going back to see the F800. even with the bigger truck, and only 29k, I think its just too rusty. Also an air leak.
Anyway.. I thought I might have my mind made up after the weekend... But I want see this baby dump before I drop a few months pay!
Thanks again.
