Jocko Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Although it took me three hours for my tired old compressor to pump up all them air tanks to release the brakes, I got it up the hill and dropped it off in Milton! Had to stay in 1st low split the whole way! Could have used OtherDog on the rear steer on some of 'dem curves!thats funny I could picture my old single axle b model under that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 So was this road... ....didn't stop me from runnin' it, though.I used to enjoy rides like that if I were light or empty, especially with a 5 speed. I don't get to do that anymore, I'm 98% interstate.I like the subtle slope of the CH hood versus the Vision/Pinnacle. The dog's are so low now it looks like they're dragging ass across the living room carpet.I ran 219 out of Dubois up to Warren in a blizzzard once,not the smartest choice i ever made either!..................MarkNot the kinda road you wanna break traction on. I've twice seen trucks on the runaway ramp at the bottom of the truck route hill in Ridgway. Daylight and dry both times. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivetroad Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 thats funny I could picture my old single axle b model under thatA little birdie told me that one is starting the trek to Missouri today? It had better get limbered up - I have a long list of loads that need pulled, toted, hauled, back hauled, front hauled, spotted, and just moved. It had better take a yoga class so it does not pull some muscles............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCR Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Saw this oversize rig parked in the closed "welcome center" on the west bound side of I80 at the Ohio line. Just the trailer no tractor.

Just the trailer no tractor.My guess is, that "other" model tractor sees the shop on a regular basis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
