T & W Towing LLC rtnospeodS3i,cc7787076tfc4 m fm42h6olui130a692h2t6r6ce5O30tb · Today we were a part of something very cool! It’s pretty rare we sell equipment, let alone sell it to the original owner! Our off road truck was custom built as a Glider in 1980 by the gentleman in the photo. Custom suspension, 13 speed transmission, 400 Big Cam Cummins, tool boxes, and every option available for a Holmes 750 at the time. In its day it was a beast of a wrecker, and would have been considered a show truck! We were contacted by Arnie two days ago and informed he has been chasing this truck since around 1987, when he sold it and regretted it a few months later. He followed it from Illinois, to Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota, back into Iowa, and finally to us. He said he had heard the same thing a few times over the years: “Sorry, we JUST sold that truck minutes ago!” Since we purchased our winch box and excavator we rarely use this truck, so we made a deal to sell this truck back to him! One of the happiest looks on his face when he realized even the key ring was still original bearing his companies logo! This truck is going to be completely restored, and will no longer spend any days outside! Sad to see it go but VERY happy to be a part of a story like this! Congrats Arnie on the return of your original Truck #1! We hope to see it when it’s completely redone! -
Yeah there are quite a few here. I know a lot of exporters that have them, but that engine weighs about 2,500 pounds complete. I can't imagine freight would be anything like cheap

Here is a Hino mechanical diesel 13.3L on a Generac 500KW genset. Just doing direct conversion and not accounting for losses that is 670.5HP Realistically it's got to be at least 750HP https://www.bid-on-equipment.com/generators/electric-generators/368333~500-kw-generac-diesel-generator.htm

Strong Diamond-T vibe What do you think about the mirrors? Looks like you can watch them without turning your head

Their tuna has really slipped in quality over the years too.

I worked on Hino Diesel powered generator sets. I forget what size but they were 6 cylinder about the size of an ENDT675 Mack. If I remember right they were about 150KW 1800RPM units. What I do remember was the high quality

Just build something like this on an old flatbed trailer. Probably be best to use a side frame so the trap doors can be larger

Steve Avella had a B that kinda reminds me of that truck. Anyone know where it ended up? Has anyone heard from Steve?

How much did it consume? I had a DM600 roll off truck that burned, leaked. and had blowby. I had to carry a 5 gallon bucket of oil in the cab on the passenger side. It finally gave up one day about 5 miles from home. It had been using oil like that for about 6 months. I put a Mack Pedigree in it. They were only about 7500 at the time

It's defiantly not rioting.

I'm just about an hour north of Macungie and the rain here seems like it hasn't let up for months. The outlet of my drain tile that is under my upper yard is flowing like crazy, and I had to put a pump in the shop because the floor kept flooding. I've been here 10 years, and I've never had a water problem like this
