  1. whatcha gonna do with the combine?
  2. I don't know the story behind this equipment, whether it was just left behind after they finished making rt. 19 4 lanes or what. Was it owned by some company in Texas and it would cost more to move it than it was worth? Sold at the auction and never picked up? Didn't sell at auction and abandoned? Some of the stuff looked pretty good, but everything was rusty from sitting for years. The one dozer had way less rust than the other, neither had a blade, but they might have been laying around in the bushes. There was a lot of small miscellaneous stuff laying around, some buckets and whatnot. I was looking over my shoulder half expecting to get run off the whole time I was there, but nobody seemed to notice me.
  3. Once upon a time I posted a picture of an International Payhauler that's parked a little ways north of Summersville, W.V. After I posted that picture I heard that there was some more old equipment behind the truckstop at Mt. Nebo, including more Payhaulers. I stopped there today to investigate, and sure enough there was indeed some more old equipment parked out by the truckstop, including more Payhaulers. I don't think they were as big as the first one I looked at, I know they weren't as pretty. But there was 2 TD25 IH dozers, they were pretty big, and there was some big loaders there too. TD 25 dozer A big loader Don't know what this is, couldn't find a name anywhere on it. This one's a Cat Payhauler Old Euclid A clean 6-71
  4. Yeah, it's about the first exit on 95 after you get off of 85. they even have plenty of room to park a truck around back, there's usually some Abilene trailers there. I passed it regularly going to and from Gerdau-Ameristeel in Petersburg and always said I was gonna stop there soon...and never did yet!
  5. no, no, I didn't resize Miss Oklahoma.
  6. Happy birthday!
  7. Farmville? That's practically in my back yard! Ma and Dad live in Cumberland, my grandparents lived in Farmville.
  8. It really sucks! That's been the speed limit down that mountain since the 70's, kinda made sense then but not now. Back then there was no bypass around Uniontown, you had to go thru Hopwood, and nobody had an engine brake. Now there's both. When I unload in Oakland, Md. and have to go to Pittsburgh to load I go down that sumbitch 10 mph. The Pa. DOT nabbed me once about 20 years ago-I was empty- doing 17 mph, and it cost me hundreds of dollars. The DOT man said "the sign at the top says you have to use the lowest gear you've got!" I was driving a T800 KW with a 444 Cummins,18 spd. at the time. I told him '' if I did that I wouldn't get here until tomorrow". He said "I don't care, that's what you're supposed to do!" That's when I realized safety had nothing to do with it, it's all about the money.
  9. Great pictures, you win the kodiakatronomy trophy this week! It's in the mail, should be there in a couple of weeks. Nice Peterbilt there, and a nice looking groundhog.
  10. I agree totally, that was always my dream if I won the lottery- i'd get a big Peterbilt, like I used to drive, and just go all over the country and buy all the old trucks I could find and store them in a big warehouse for all to see. I'd drive a Pete just so I could pass through Farmington, Il. at every opportunity and blow the horn when I went by Rob's place. But seriously, you are right, and my hat's off to the Keystone Museum for doing what they're doing- gotta get there soon, right Mark?
  11. He does, Art's a Mack man! He could have a U around somewhere, I don't know.
  12. I post lots of pictures but I resize them to a much smaller size first, then every few months or so i'll go back and delete them altogether after they've been long forgotten and no longer of interest to anyone.
  13. I'll take a stab at it- was it Oprah Winfrey in "The Color Purple"?
  14. Saw a blimp in Pittsburgh Tuesday. And a good looking dump truck. Another dump truck on a trailer A new trailer at the yard Some a-hole from N.C. passing in Pa. after the passing lane ended way back yonder. The big red forklift at the yard. Lots of Macks and one hay baler at Art Reed's in Montvale.
  15. I've been thinking, when I was at P.L.Duncan's with nocluejoe the last time he had a truck like this backed up into the woods at the edge of the field. I didn't get a close look at it, but it was a straight truck with a flatbed body, painted green, looked to be in great shape from what little I did see. Now that I know that they know Mr. Duncan i'd guess it was the same truck, as there can't be that many of them around. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/album/692-old-macks-in-cumberland-va/ I'd like to see them get the highbinder and the Conco IH that Mr. Duncan has for their museum too, both rare aminals 'round these parts.
  16. Saw this in today's paper. I don't know if i'm going with "Rob" or "Ottercar". Maybe i'll send both.
  17. It looks good!
  18. naw, I think yours look better Bob...at least just as good,eh? Yeah, I really like my grill. Remember when everyone here was giving me a hard time about my "new unit" when I got it, because I made such a big deal about it? Heck, my old grill was made from an anti-freeze drum!
  19. We had a pet raccoon when I was jest a boy. My younger brother and myself found it in the woods by an oak tree that had fallen down. Apparently the mother had abandoned it, it was more dead than alive when we found it. It was so small we raised it on a baby bottle, and it was a great pet. We turned it loose after it was grown, and by then you could tell it's natural instincts had started to kick in, so I feel pretty sure it was OK.
  20. Hi Randyp! At least the randyp drought is over, we were getting seriously worried because we hadn't heard from you for so long. Wonder how rhasler is doing, New Mexico is on fire.
  21. I don't float or fly, so i'm gonna drive. Happy birthday!
