Someone buy this or figure out a really good excuse for me to.

Looking at the driveway, the Detroit 4-53 is holding true to form. Detroits like as much oil on the outside as they do on the inside. I bet that little thing shakes like a terrier after a bath.
That said, buy it and listen to the song of Detroit diesels.
The red knob on the shifter; air brakes, tank selection or rear end change?
In reply to 914Driver :
Maybe that's for the overdrive unit? There seem to be three tanks but the ad mentions a valve behind the seat for selection.
That is a safe distance away from me. 
In reply to 914Driver :
That's for the Gear Vendors over/under drive.

It's really not for me. I bought my last truck out of NC and I'll be down that way in December. I hope upon hope someone buys it soon.

There is no safe distance!!! That thing would eat miles up like nobody's business
What can be seen of the instillation looks to be top notch. The want is over the top high. The need is there. The money? So far out of reach I can't even feel bad about it. 
The Financial Manager did say I can buy it, as long as I sell Big Red. It's actually tempting.
So 90 gallons of diesel capacity times $5.40 a gallon of diesel equals $486 for a fill up. Better check your credit card limit.
Wow! This thing is incredible! I kinda wish it had the round-eye front clip, but would be an easy fix after a morning trip to the yard.

Red knob on shifter
Co-worker has his exhaust brake on his shifter like that. Works well.
Fantastic!

I want this. I don't need this. But damn do I want this. A big manual diesel wagon that could tow my racecar! And make Detroit nosies!

Thanx. Very happy about going to Reserve on my motorcycle while on the fly.
This is the perfect vehicle for when you and three friends have a powerful need to cruise while peeing in bottles for 18hrs straight.
This thing might be the ultimate family friendly tow rig.
I think my wife would literally kill me if I bought it though. I'm already at 3 cars in 3 months... and I'm not sure she's actually aware of one of them...

I've been really trying to figure out how to bring my family to the track and then this thing pops up. If I hadn't fell back in love with Elmore this summer I would already have bought this.
