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.

We had a fleet of 20-TS-24's,along with 3-657's cat.

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.

Yes,I will dig them out and post em.Have some of the cl pulling the ts24's we ran.

I most likely saw the B61 running around here in Philly when I was a kid.Cornell did a lot of steel work here in the city.They were out of Woodbury,NJ.Pass there yard many times.Don't know if there s still around.

Looks nice,good luck with it.

Happy 4th to everyone,stay safe and eat up.I will be eating and drinking up cause this time last year I spent a week and half in the hospital.

Have had one on my r model and the B87 for years.Thing has come in handy once in a while.

Miniscalco has there own job down there.They're on the north side,JPC is working on the lower side.I was down there today running there dozer.

They have a city contract to replace some storm and sanitary sewers up around the yard.I've been on that job and other jobs they have around town.They have a big job down at the Sugar House.

I running a machine for Miniscalco.

Nice job,looks great.

Thats one tough bridge.

Both of your trucks are very nice.That the way I want to go to a show with my 79 r model pulling the b87 on the trailer.Again great looking trucks.

There wasn't much smoke blowing out the stack.I always say it may be old but it's steady.Looks Great.

Great pictures,thanks for sharing them.Would like to make it over someday,have an uncle that is buried there.

Happy Birthday

Will be missing the show this year.Since Icame out of retirement to help out a friend haven't had much time to work on the B87.Will be using today and tomorrow to get the cab ready for the paint shop.

Would have loved to make it but since I came out of retirement to help out a friend haven't had much time to work on the B87.Was in the shop by 7 this morning getting the cab ready for paint,will be back at it in the morning by 6 I hope.Will have the truck ready for next year.

We had one of the first 983's here in PA.Wasn't the best loader we had,it was always overheating,and the ass end was a little light.We all heated the first one dd went out and traded it in on another one.The best track loader we had over the years were the Komatsu D155S,it had a 6 and half yard bucket and all the balls you needed.

Congrats,I just passed 30 years.

Did the same over my moms house,just hook the old R model to them and that was it.Neighors throughout I was nuts.I told them go big or go home.

I really don't use it much anymore.It would make someone a great work truck.The hyd. tank is on the right side. I will have to look at the frame and let you know.

I have been thinking about selling my 79 r model for quite some time and have decided to leave someone else have fun with her.My family brought it new in 79 alone with 19 others.It has 169"wb,endt676-300 series with 285hp,TRXL107 lowhold 5 speed Maxi trans,rear mounted pto,12,000 front,38,000 rears,4.17 rear ratio.It was repainted 4 years ago and has been garaged kept ever since.It has only 72,000 orignal miles and is excellent shape.If I was looking for a truck that I could drive everyday and pull a trailer this would be the one.We used it to pull a dump trailer.It has retreads on the rears that are in excellent condition.I am asking $18,500 obo.Lets talk.You can reach me at 215-669-1252.

Clean up in the crack asile.
