I picked this 700 up last year when I went back to Katherine nt for my school reunion ,a friend put me onto it ,when tried buying one of his 5 r700's .this one was just around the corner from lou BUGLY in humpty doo.it was built 7/1977 ,217 "wb ,375 hp 5 speed&1241c spicer aux ,44's 6.34 ,double rail & eagle claw, for winkel tpt was 140 ton rated now 120 t after a ratio change 5.32.this will replacing my r 600 that I currently work. steve

i'm thinking don't drop this ,the fella on the fork only knows one speed FLAT OUT

Tough looking old girl bet there some stories there

i'm splitting the rails and sand blasting and epoxy primer so theres a long way to go

no green leakers or crummins here ,440 e9 to replace the 866

this

is the cab I did for the 600,it will going on the 700

the cummins bunk that I rebuilt it had been repaired by someone that had no idea what they were doing, it had a trailer jackknifed into it ,it was out of square ,I had to cut the roof off and the back panel and get the diagonals right,they sanded "GROUND" the paint off with a 9"grinder then they left it out in the weather for 18 months ,so it was a absolute mess when I bought, it it came with new bulldog trim ,heres the end result
