Thanks a lot to James (M1075) at OKC auction service for all of his help getting the M915A1 I bought from him shipped to me. I'm going to use this truck to haul corn and farm supplies. The truck is in excellent condition! I couldn't believe it when I looked under the hood, it looks like it has hardly been used at all. I've never driven a semi tractor before, and on the way home from the loading dock I looked down at the speedometer expecting it to say 35 or 40, and I was running 55. It's quiet in the cab, and accelerates really well.
I was surprised that the front of the tractor has the diamond shape in the grill that all the 915s have, but it doesn't say CCC in the diamond. Does anyone know why?
I'll try to post some pictures. Now i need to spend the next couple days cleaning it up so I can take the CDL test. I've passed the written part already. I'm thinking of taking the square tubing off the front and painting it black. I'll need to figure out how to get all of the black marker writing off of the truck, I'm hoping I won't have to repaint it since I like the sand color.
We went past our grain elevator on the way home, and decided to pull in and weigh the tractor. I was really pleased to see it only weighed 18,500 pounds, even with a half tank of diesel. I was afraid it was going to be heavier after reading the manual, but that's not much different than any other over the road semi, and I can haul a lot of corn before going over 80,000 pounds. Everyone at the grain elevator thought it was awesome, and several of the neighborhood farmers "stopped in to chat" when they saw it in the yard.
I recommend OKC auction service if you ever need to use them. James knew exactly what he was doing and set everything up for me really nicely.
