Got this Walsh owned unit the other day after he lifted a couple box culverts off my trailer, they did that quicker

than it took them to get the loader w/forks over there to lift the one pallet off my trailer.

Nice find! man,i know it's no Mack,but i'm digging this Autocar!...........................Mark

I'm diggin that A-car too, that's a cool looking truck, although it almost looks like its got Volvo rims up front, those

might have to go.

This could easily be a story about the U.S. Everything that was explained in that article is happening here. Overregulation, an

aging workforce, low pay, unqualified drivers, immigrant drivers all happening right now. The old timers are getting out of this

industry as fast as they can and from what I've seen the only people replacing them are unqualified trucking school grads

and immigrants and even they don't have to be real bright to figure out that living in a truck all week and only grossing $700

to $900 a week and having no life sucks. You can work some shit factory or retail job for a little less and be home every night

and have half the responsibility. Great article, thanks for posting.

This one came to me via the inter-web on an e-mail, don't know where this was taken but it looks a little dangerous.

The guy must like living on the edge.

If it runs big if might be able to track down who owns it and see if it is for sale

My friend knows who owns the land and I would assume the same guy also owns the machine. It looked runable.

It looks like they still dump in the pit so it probably works once a year when it starts getting messy.

Same truck. Now in WV.

I took those pictures in October of 09 because they had started dismantling the truck for shipment and it didn't get moved till

this year. Neat truck. Jack and Gene Allen have both passed away but they had quite the collection of trucks and scratch

built tow trucks. The company is currently run by their son in law and grandson. Thanks for the reply.

This counts for misc. Doesn't it? 5LLD Euclid.

Did that truck just come from Allens towing in Hampshire IL? Was parked about 10 miles from my house for the last 20 years.

Got to be the same truck. Although the step on the front looks like it got beat up and is missing the beacon light.

Got this Walsh 850 Deere working today while I was waiting for them to unload me. They were in no hurry.

That almost looks like one of those custom Pete 330 cabs for the landscapers or Railroad

Was thinking the same thing. See them pulling alot of horse trailers also. Expensive little trucks.

Here is a 345 I took a picture of at the CAT booth out at the Con-Expo in Vegas back in 05. Also got the CAT

American Choppers bike that was in the back of a dump truck. Cool show. I am planning on going next spring.

If your into construction equipment this is definitely a show you need to get to at least once. Only comes around

every three years and takes at least 2 full days to see.

Here are a couple more antique's from Waupun. Was talking to an old timer while I was looking at the Bordens Milk

trailer made by Bartlett and he said they were made at 28th and Blue Island in Chicago. He and his friend had some

interesting stories. Cool trailer and truck but I thought a single axle B model might look better under that trailer.

Here are a few of the cabovers at the show. Seems like they're making a comeback. Some pretty cool trucks except for

the blue/white/orange Pete. I am a Peterbilt fan but that is by far the ugliest truck they ever built.

Here is a sharp looking A-car and good sounding one I might add and an Oshkosh for all the A-car and Oshkosh fans.

Nice pictures, thanks for posting, I wonder if the green and silver R is a working truck

Looks like it was fresh from a rebuild. Never got to talk to the owner but it had Homers Towing/Chrome shop sticker(from Milwaukee)

on the back window. Truck was parked with them for the weekend, not sure if they helped with the rebuild or what the deal

was. Got a picture of them coming back from the Saturday parade.

nice bunch of trucks,looks like Caine had a few there,wonder if they still have their Superliner??

Not sure about the Superliner but they did have a KW. Wonder if they're trying something new or if Mack ticked them off.

This FWD pickup was one of my favorites at the show. Had a custom bed with a wood floor in it. Made a ton of noise

with the straight pipes. Would love to take that to a cruise night and park it on top of a car. Looks like a Mack fuel

tank on it too.

Nice pics. Thanks for posting. Any more pics of the MH?

No, sorry it was parked between the other cabovers all weekend and I couldn't get a clean shot of it. They were all parked pretty tight.

Looked cool in the row cabovers though.

As luck would have it I also took a picture of the one at Gerharts last year. Looks like it has a different grill than the

truck from OH posted above.

I knew I had a picture of one of these trucks. It was from the 2011 ATHS convention in South Bend In. I had

to go back and look through my show time book and it said this was a 1951 LMSWL out of Alexandria OH.

Looks like it has a Cummins in it. Nice looking restoration job.

This is a tree stumper we had at the land clearing company I used to work for. I think the machine was a Kobelco but

I can't remember for sure.The stumper was run off its own motor in the box on the front. Neat little machine.
