This is a 1985 Kenworth W900 vacuum septic pumper truck with a 1995 Eldridge 3200 gallon tank. The engine is a 300 HP NTC Cummins that has a Jacobs engine brake. The transmission is a Eaton 8 speed with a low 1st gear. The rear suspension is Reyco 38,000 and the front suspension is 10,000 pounds rated. The rear axle ratio is 3.73. The tank is a 1995 Eldridge carbon steel tank that has walk through baffles that make it much easier to clean out grit build up if that becomes an issue. The hose trays and the cabinets are stainless steel. The rear valves are Betts 4 & 3 stainless. The bent rear bumper is also stainless. The pump is a Demag - Wittig 3 with a Thompson tank secondary and there is a small muffler to keep the pump quiet. The transmission was taken out of the truck about 8 months ago and completely rebuilt. The trans also has a new shift lever installed. The front tires are new and there are new caps on the left rear axle. The rest of the rear tires are very good. The left front rear spring was just replaced and the others are in good condition. I just replaced the starter solenoid, 1 front and 1 rear air brake valves, the muffler, 2 new hood alignment pin stops, the driver seat bottom cushion, the fuel tank strap rubbers, 2 good used outer grab handles and I did a rear axles brake job with new shoes and drums. I also did a fresh engine oil change with new filters and new fuel and coolant filters, a new air filter + check all fluid levels and greased the entire truck. Also flushed the radiator and added new anti-freeze and water. The radiator core was replaced about 2 years ago. The clutch fan was recently rebuilt and works automatically or by manual with a switch. A new license plate light has been installed. The truck comes with ( 7 - 3 ) about 196" of good used vacuum hose that have aluminum lever lock fittings. I am also including 2 new brake chambers and a rubber coupler for the 90% gear box to the pump. The reason I am selling this truck is that I needed to get a larger volume truck. The things that I know of that do not work on this truck are the air conditioner, the heater, the windshield washer and the fuel gauge and the 90% gear box has a small leak. The right front headlight bezel is broken and there is a crack on the right rear top of the hood as shown in the pics + chips and scrapes and the usual wear and tear of a truck this age. Three of the rear outer wheels are aluminum and the right rear has two new steel wheels. I am also including two new recap rear tires and four good re-capable tires. This truck does run well and drives and shifts great. It builds very good vacuum and should serve you well. Since it is a 1985 I have to sell this in as-is where is with no warranty. It is currently registered and insured so you can test drive it to make sure you are satisfied with this truck. A paypal deposit of $500.00 with-in 48 hours is required and the balance in cash only when you pick up the truck. If you have any questions please ask. The reserve is sensible and will not be disclosed. I will not end the auction early so bid to win. I am about 15 minutes from the Garden State Parkway or the Tappan Zee Bridge in north east New Jersey.
