    Ship

    Bullheaded replied to Bullheaded's topic in Odds and Ends

    Yes sir. The Fitz is right by Whitefish Point. I'd love to go for a ride on one....but only in good weather. LOL This ship is on the same route to Deluth right now. I don't know the extent of the storm but it was a complete white out of snow this morning. But it all melted again. But was windy all day.

    Ship

    Bullheaded posted a topic in Odds and Ends

    Anyone into ships? I got one of the Great Lakes freighters in front of my house since yesterday. When there are bad storms on lake Superior they will often tuck into to the bay here to take shelter. I use this site. You can track all the vessels on the Great lakes. https://ais.boatnerd.com/ And here is the ship that is here right now. http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/algomaenterprise.htm

    From what I have read, that was the very first conventional prototype they made. I'm starting to get a new appreciation for these other trucks now because back in the day NOTHING existed to me other than Mack and International.
  4. Bullheaded
    Not now, but there was a time an aluminum hood Freightliner conventional would put a Pete or KW to shame.

    Don't forget pajama bottoms, LOL

    Now that looks like a work truck!

    The only manufacturer that would build a truck like that? They must not have asked Western Star about the 6900 XD. I have tried both the T880 and the Pete version (567 or 569?? whatever it is) I've never been a Peterbilt fan, but I actually like the Pete better. The dash is lower and better visibility than the T880 version. As for the truck itself, I do like the T880, but would still take a T800 first.

    You are likely correct Red Horse. I never really looked at the GVW's all that close. I still prefer the design of the International/Chev. And I like the lower shop rates of International truck dealers than Ford dealers. I'd love to have a CV, but it's that DPF/regen thing that keeps me liking my old F550, LOL
  9. Bullheaded
    I'm a Ford guy, but I'd take an International CV over them. CV can be had in 4WD. Granted the Ford can be spec'd to higher GVW's.

    That's a sharp looking CH too Terry. I like that! Ya, I didn't notice the E7 numbers on the door bottoms of the CL until after I posted, LOL I just saw the Elite badges on the grill and couldn't tell if it also said E9 500. I had also thought I had read that Bill Bottoms had passed away but I wasn't certain. They built some pretty cool stuff.
  11. Bullheaded
    Can I hit the like button 40 times? LOL

    I ran one of those with a flat top sleeper and spoke wheels front and rear. Had a 425 Cat, pulling dump trailers. And another older one with a 380 Cat. But then they replaced the 380 with an E9 400.

    I always thought one would be a great tandem dump for doing home deliveries. Be able to get in anywhere. None in my area, but I have seen them in my old Bulldog magazines set up as tandem dumps. I just wouldn't want a new Terrapro.....have you seen the exhaust emission controls monstrosities on those things now???

    Canada's public health officer is Chinese. Go figure, LOL

    I always had good luck with them as loggers and dump trucks. Biggest issue was some minor cracks in the bottom of the dash near the floor. Here is the last one I ran that got sold for the 2013 Star. C15 550 Cat, and was set up for the box to come off and fifth wheel and headboard go on, tires off lift and go logging.
  16. Bullheaded
    Wow! Sweet CL. Is it an E9? How many rears are drives and lifts? Is B&B still in business?
  17. Bullheaded
    I think I read something about they were the same company Red Horse. Are these the same truck with different wheels and paint?
  18. Bullheaded
    Sharp looking truck though bbigrig. That stripe job looks nice on it.
  19. Bullheaded
    And would still outlast anything built today.

    My favorite truck next to the old Mack's. I used to run a 6X6 Paystar 5000 like this building logging roads. And I owned an 05 Paystar 5600i. I also wonder about the specs of these I saw on the internet. Only info I could find is it was called Kong and was a 100 ton rotator.
  21. Bullheaded
    I miss spokes. There was always a sense of pride when you competed with your buddies on who could put their wheels on the straightest. LOL
  22. Bullheaded
    Larry Shinoda designed for White Trucks too Maxidyne? I did not know that. Any idea what models he worked on?
  23. Bullheaded
    Ya, hate to break the news to you AZB....but all your beloved American tractor brands are full of Japanese components, LOL John Deere has Yanmar power, Massey compacts are Iseki, New Holland/Case IH compacts were Shibaura but are now Korean LS. And Japanese is a hell of a lot better than Chinese and Korean tractors. Sorry I'm not more patriotic.....I just go with the winning team. And under 70 horsepower that is Kubota. Over is John Deere. Besides Kubota orange looks good parked beside my antique Allis Chalmers orange.

    That one here of H67ST's looks like it would be a nice one to put away and hand down to the kids.
  25. Bullheaded
    I wonder if they will ever become desirable antique tractors like the others years from now? I keep mine in good shape and don't think I will ever get rid of them. Would be nice to find one of the first early ones when they started selling them in North America.
