  1. Damn shit is corrosive as hell. Plays hell with stuff like the electrical cabinets, connections, all kinds of stuff. Back around 1990 I worked moving that one for Booty from Penn Terminal to if I remember correctly right behind the brick plant. He bought it from British Steel and it came on a ship to right below Philly. 122 truckloads. All up 309. The boom point was 18 feet wide. Almost all the loads we had to go north up the southbound lanes to get through Tamaqua because north took you up the side of that bar that had the horse on the roof, and then you had to make a hard left
  2. As far as I know the Anthracite King needs a new tub (base). But who knows what else by now
  3. I bought their hazleton shop. New owners now, I never met them. I've been buying off of Pagnotti
  4. 82 80 CI Shovel FXR I've got a buddy that is heavy into Flatheads if you are into old and fast. He held the world record at Bonneville for a bunch of years. I think last time was 180 MPH. He's looking much older too. His shop is about half an hour from here next to Bills Custom Cycles Bill's collection takes up 55,000 SQ feet. For his birthday he had a barrel rider there https://www.billsbikebarn.com/billsbik-VirtualTours-30.htm
  5. Here is something pretty cool. I think they were using a one megawatt 1800 RPM unit here. Voltage is at least 4160. You can see the generator load every time the feet go down. I didn't watch all the parts, but usually lots of greasing going on when they walk them far. Hey @Mark T, How far did they walk the Anthracite King that time? I think it was some crazy distance. I think they told me it was to make the cut for RT81. Anthracite King below
  6. ESI Plus with 3 filters and the big pan. All the blue, as kinda like a Pedigree
  7. I don't look like or walk like me 12 years ago
  8. 237 as built shouldn't have anything but a 5 or 6
  9. Oh yeah somehow I missed that one. Funny I don't remember seeing a splitter on the shifter
  10. Normally they were 44 tons so the yard guys could run them. 45 tons and up had to have an engineer or a two man crew
  11. Tom Benden does lots of cool frame and suspension stuff https://www.youtube.com/@bendinwithbendon
  12. I went by the shift knob lol. I don't see a picture of the trans. Maybe it's an ENDT673C
  13. 237 5speed, Mack suspension with the short trunnion. Not bad really
  14. These trucks full of Portland Cement belong to SIG. They are like the largest Portland cement producer in Asia. These guys aren't playing. They are doing business like it's combat, and here in the US we are doing business like it's a day care center for preschool girls
  15. You see stuff like this, and realize we have become the world's biggest sissies. When you see them in some of the other videos and they are breaking equipment, it isn't because they are stupid, it's because the money is so big, that it just isn't that big of deal
  16. I delivered trailer mounted equipment to the Lipari Landfill down in Pittman NJ. Same deal, I couldn't set foot on the ground even to drop and hook. And they washed my tractor before I left. That was a big superfund site. The town of Pittman had a big cancer cluster in the 70's. If I remember right there was a lake there and the stuff got in the lake that people swam and fished in
