We had an 80’ Superliner with a 3406A and a fuller 13 sp riding on camelback.   Truck also had an aluminum frame.

Found on the web.  

Mike, we all love pics!   

Would a Cummins engine make the various wiring harness not garbage?

87’ Valu-Liner, it was our first mixer.  Sold it 2 years ago. In its tenure for us it delivered 17927.5 yards of concrete  over 2744 loads.   I just happen to be sitting at the batch computer waiting for trucks to get back

Would be nice to see a lot more Granite tractors

Well if Mack/Volvo could make an engine that wasn’t down, more than it was up,  we would have Granite tractors 

We had bought one of Five Star’s old mixers at Ritchie Bro’s down there.   Made it back north about 40 miles and had to call it.  Oil blowing out the blow by real bad.  Can’t win them all.   

I like that blue Granite Tractor!

I’m surprised that Axle had one!

I’m ignorant, but I don’t believe I have ever seen stainless lug nuts.

I want to go hang out at Wolfmier!

What is there to modernize? If it goes up and down, take it to PoundTown.   Personally I like cables, if they mess up you usually can still work. 

Agreed on the oil sample.   Personally, I would not worry To much about a gallon and half on 12000.    

Alumitank is about 20 miles from us.   Great people, who sell a great product.

The ready mix companies here are all locally owned and they serve a population of 2.9M people, most trucks owned by local companies in bigger cities in the U.S. are dirty. You should see some of the rigs in New York!

Clean mixers is a labor of love.

On a 1990RD can you do a direct mount hyd.pump instead of the shaft going from the trans to the pump

You can but, with the Mack trans case being aluminum most people mount them with a bracket to help take up some of the weight.  We have them both ways and to date, I have not seen a Mack case crack.  

I don't know where to go for one of those "donuts" either

I took care of a fleet of Hiab 2 ton traveling base cranes way better than the old block booms we had before. We tried tico's and another brand but we felt the Hiab's were the brand for us.

We ran a Biko and a Jiffy stick boom for awhile.  Our main thing is the Princeton forks on the back of the trailer.  Block company we haul for used to run a bunch of Steelmasters and a handful of Palfinger knuckle booms.   Now they are switching to Moffetts.   

Busy working here

I think thats all harry Kuhn had was hilbilt frameless 

The trailer behind the R model is an old Harry W. Kuhn trailer, the one behind the CH is an old Doetch trailer.   My uncle worked for Kuhn right up until the end, Dad worked their for a few seasons in the late eighties.

Like most Americans I think he does what he wants when he wants.
