Milaca Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 That is a great photo. Loading a gravel truck with that shovel would work better if the truck was backed up inline to the shovel, then the truck wouldn't rock from side to side while being loaded and the dirt wouldnt spill over the side. I learned this from loading trucks many times with a hydraulic excavator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackmb212 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Speaking of b model action there needs to be some more/better/longer videos of b models on YouTube and this might sound dumb but I would like to here what a thermodyne with a Jake brake sounds like lol. I did see the videos of the truck in the above picture vary cool. Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yarnall Posted April 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2013 This guy works this truck daily. It has been repowered with a 237 out of a CF. It is great to see it going down the road. Here it is parked in the lot at my work. We get him to do a lot of work for us. The B model definitely plays into the decision making process of who will get the job. Mike 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvam Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hey MikeYeah I have seen that truck running up and down the road a few times. I always wondered if he was still running the 673 or repowered. What trans does he have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post daveigou Posted April 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ooops, one more, a B61X tractor at Gerhart's. I am told the truck in the second picture is the same truck, don't know. 3 Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post daveigou Posted April 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2013 Sorry guys, I just can't help myself. The first one is John Hoppes' ex J. G. Baker tow truck, I think the implication here might be a tad optimistic, you'll never know unless you try, The second B model is a picture I took at the old long gone Downingtown Ironworks in Downingtown, Pa. One of the prettiest B models I ever saw. 6 Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dockmen027 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The Matlack Photo has to rank among the greatest in my opinion, speaking of Downingtown, any Chemical Leaman B-model photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveigou Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The Matlack Photo has to rank among the greatest in my opinion, speaking of Downingtown, any Chemical Leaman B-model photos?The Matlack picture was taken at an open house they held at the terminal at Swedesboro, NJ. My friend in the picture, his father was an owner-operator for Matlack, he had an early F model.Sorry, no Chemical Leaman pictures, even though I drove for a small fleet owner that had several KT Cummins powered IH 4300's leased on. I never took any pictures, I guess I was too busy trying to make a couple $$$$ and raise a family.

farmer52 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Dave,Nice pics. I am guessing that the "kid standing on the ground" next to the Matlack is you. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
