MERCER VINTAGE BETTENDORF TRUCKS ****SOLD****

Post by optigman »

I have a pair of lightly used Mercer Bettendorf trucks for sale. These have only been used about 100 hours if I had to estimate total track time. These vintage trucks are about 30 years old and in really good shape. They have grease fittings on each bearing with the lift up journal box lids. These trucks have the standard Mercer / Dave Sclavi spherical bronze bushings which you can see on his video for his new cored version of these classic trucks. Take a look at the pictures. Legendary Mercer quality trucks. A bargain at $300.00 for the machined / finished pair! ! ! I will take sideframes off so the wheelsets, bolster, sideframes & springs will all nest in the boxes as they are too big to ship assembled. These will ship in large and medium USPS flat rate priority box's for $35.00.

Does anybody have an idea as to the minimum radius these trucks will negotiate? Thanks Timmy
