    830-630 overnight at the Philly airport. We're putting in some new taxiways and a runway extension. The truck has a pretty full set of gauges, but unfortunately I don't think they all work anymore. All the extra lights work so at least I look cool from the outside lol

    Yeah it's for the mill conveyor. So far my only action is loading a dozer, taking it across a runway and then dropping it. When they're finished I load it up in the morning and take it back to our staging area. I love this truck. The old driver took great care of it and it's really comfortable. E6 with a Mack 12 provides the muscle.

    I had my first move tonight in the Superliner lowboy. Just moved on site but I have a great guy showing me the ropes. 86 RW613 and an 86 Rogers.

    I came across JDM's Instagram and saw this cool old pic of an LJ concrete truck.

    Best I could do with pics, but I found a very small old Morrissey yard with a single screw B and a pre 73 R boom truck. Maybe Philatruck or another local guy might wanna go take a look. They're at Strahle and Hegerman.

    Yup, here it is now.

    Usually the crew using the machine cleans the tracks before they get moved. Keeps the flow of things nice and smooth. This truck and the two others all have wetlines for the hydraulic gooseneck. The 77 R model that used to be on lowboy duty doesn't have a wetline and its old gooseneck with the pony motor is still sitting in the yard. Just doesn't get used anymore.

    When I was younger I remember seeing a scraper driving down 95. Was that you guys? Neat that it could be done back then, probably not anymore lol

    That's what I'm working towards. One of our lowboy drivers is retiring and I wanna get in there and make some money while I'm still young and spry lol

    My boss let me come in on a Saturday and teach myself how to pull a trailer. Been driving class B for 6 years. Time to step up. 86 RW613 with an E6-350 and a Mack 12 speed.

    Send it to me and I'll test it out in the mud for ya!

    Needs chrome Alcoas all around. Steel wheels on an R totally ruin it. Spokes are my favorite, but if it has budd hubs, throw some chrome on em!

    From last week when I had some downtime. Did some maintenance on my truck and polished out the 77 since no one else takes care of it. Poor ol dog

    Then I had to go pick up a roller at Plasterer in Sellersville and saw the H&K superliner hydroseeder. I had to crop my pics down and they're all fuzzy now. Every time I try to upload a pic from my phone, it says the image is too large. This new site sucks.

    We finally got the go-ahead to set up our compound for the airport job we got and while I was taking some stuff in I saw this AP water truck. Earlier truck because it has those little beauty lines on the front fender.

    The company with the silver trucks is Petrongolo out of Jersey. Their stuff is kinda rough looking, but I see it often. Those AP tandems only seem to come out to plow.

    I've been doing most of my work on the 95 job between 676 and Allegheny. Though once I get out on the road I like to let her stretch her legs a bit. Usually running up to the Tullytown landfills and occasionally G&R Cat.

    I gotta agree with Mackey. Even though that old R had some ugly paint, it looks a hell of a lot better than some of the junk I see pulling containers around the ports.

    Our 77 Canadian R tractor. Still sees a lot of use. When it's parked and I'm not busy I try to spruce it up a bit. I even have a visor to replace the one that blew off two winters ago lol

    Did a little scrapping in the rain on Monday
  21. xdudebrahx
    Had to move some 30 foot beams on the 95 job

    I like that the H&K group repurposes all their older stuff.
  23. xdudebrahx
    I see that guy all the time. The tractor has been gradually collecting more and more gray primer over the years.
  24. xdudebrahx
    Needs red spokes with white rims to match the rest of the truck

    Gotta bump this again. My usual truck came back from the shop and upon checking it out, I noticed a new reversing relay installed on the intake manifold. The issue is that the shop left the pipe plug in the rearmost port and the airline is leaking since it's not connected. I jammed a screw in the line so the truck would build air pressure. The mechanic will eventually fix it but I'm asking for my own knowledge. What is that line? The one on the front is the one that goes to the puff valve on the fuel pump, but what are the other two? I'm thinking one is a supply line and the other goes to the trans for reverse?
