Well, after years of borrowing a dump truck for various projects, I finally bought one for myself.
1992 International 4900 DT 466, Allison MT653 trans, live hydraulics.
I've been looking for a nice municipal truck for awhile and this one fit most of the markers. While I'm not a huge fan of the automatics, I wanted one for farm use so I can have my wife haul stones/ dirt/stumps while I run the hoe to load.
Picked it up at an auction cheap because the Allison is burned. The fluid stinks, trans slips bad in forward gears. Seems to shift firmly into reverse, I didn't notice any issues there. Planning to drop the trans and get a rebuild kit.
