  2. Gald to hear your wife is doing better.Went through that ugly disease with caring for my dad.
  3. Looks like there the same deck.
  4. Brent,it's made from brass.It was made overseas for Classic Construction Models.I think they made a total of 150 of them.Was very pricey.I will try and post some more pictures of it.
  5. Mike,reading your good luck make me think of taking the r model to work.Think I will this week.My only problem is that I work in Philly and the city truck cops are not as nice as the state troopers are.Will let you all know how I make out.They are out most mornings on I95 at the Betsy Ross bridge looking for trucks.
  6. I wish i could find some of the old b model dump we had over the years,my mind reminds me that they were in excellent condition when we got rid of them.
  7. Joe,i know right where the Keystone landfill is.We worked on a section of the Casey ByPass north of Scranton.I always had good luck when i got pulled over by the state troopers,it was always the local cops that would kill me.
  8. That the reason why I don't put a rollback on my r model.I'ld be bringing more projects that my wife would let me have.
  9. If you watch it closely you will see thats there's no motor in it,also it come apart long before it hit bottom.Must of been held together with duck tape.
  10. Nice trucks,I often throughout of making my R-model into a rollback to haul my antique caterpillar tractor around to the shows.

  16. I'll send you fellows some of the rain we've been having back east here.Some places have gotten over 3" in an hour.
  17. Love those Aussie trucks,there real beasts.
  18. Nice video,if you look closely you can see one of our B61's.It in the first minute or so,all you see is the nose of it.My father did all of the site work for the Vet.I can recall being all of 9 and standing on home plate.We worked for McCusekey Builders on that job.Mackey58 that was a DM800 tractor,it was a real beast.We pulled over300,000 lbs with that tractor and it never looked back.
  19. Mackey58,here's some shots of our Mack tractors pulling the lowboys.Will try and find some more.
  20. They must of been used to haul soft coal,if you filled them bodies with dirt the hoist wouldn't of been able to lift em.Looks like heavy spec.
  21. We had a fleet of 20-TS-24's,along with 3-657's cat.
  22. Back in the 70's and 80's when we did a lot of work down at the Philly airport and doing parts of I95 we would walk our draglines from job to job.I remember one time my dad had us walk one of the dragline right down the shoulder of Industrial Blvd. right in front of the airport,worse yet it was midday.The good old days.
  23. Yes,I will dig them out and post em.Have some of the cl pulling the ts24's we ran.
