I have been shopping for a road tractor to pull a small low boy, and a short dump trailer. I have found a 88 model Volvo. It"s a tandem axle day cab, 330hp 60 series DD, 13 speed, with 400k ish miles. The negatives are a cracked exhaust manifold, a non sliding fifth wheel, no wet line, no jake brake, and a knot on one of the drive tires. The guy is asking 5k. I understand that the tire isnt a big deal, but the manifold, adding a PTO/hyd, and putting a sliding fith wheel(necessary for a break neck low boy im told?) is going to run into some $. I"m figuring $1,500 to 2k. Am I far off on my part price"s? Would you keep looking. Keep in mind I wont be making a living with this rig, Im just gonna use it to move my combine, excavator, dozer, and haul corn/beans to the elevator. Right now Im getting by with my dually, and goose neck, and hiring all the big/heavy stuff moved. The lack of a jake brake worries me too. Should it? I appreciate your feed back, and your time.

Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
