Popular Post j hancock Posted October 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2016 Saw this great looking H-67 at the New England Show. Unless I missed something, think it was the only H there. 13 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 It is a nice little COE. The "Cherry Picker" was the nickname given to the H-60/H-61 model where you really needed a step ladder to climb aboard. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Mike Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Beautiful looking H. Getting to where I like them better each time I see one posted. Especially with the black fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 The cherry picker was a unique looking rig. They were high because they had a flat floor. They didn't sell that well. I understood they had steering problems. However they had a good blood line in the H-63 and 67 as you can see above in the black and red one. If you look at the G model the light area appears to be the same as the H-67. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Ron Is that picture of 141 the same tractor that is in Tony Champion's collection??? It is a sharp looking unit and I wish Tony had painted his up as original.. Edited October 29, 2016 by Brocky Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 An eye-catcher! As for Tonny Champion it would be much cooler to paint it original way indeed. I'm not familiar with what Ron will say on that matter this time, but in older discussion he stated that's the same truck.

BillyT Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 There are as many ways to paint a truck as there are truck owners,but I'm particularly fond of the old " east coast" style of panel striping especially on older trucks! Would have to see it on a late model aerodyne tractor,but I don't think it would look as good! The Sheehan truck looks good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Have a question for you "cornbinder" experts...A contractor I worked for had an international tandem dump late 50s, long hood like a Hendrickson, checker plate fenders big gas v8 5 and 4 tranny I'm thinking it was a 549 cu in is that the biggest gas engine International made,? Just curious,didn't think they'd let Ford outdo them with the 534!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 international also had a 501 cubic inch six cylinder gas engine. when put in front of a quad box there was nothing they could not do.

Brocky Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Billy I am NOT an IH expert, But yes the big IH gas job was a 549 c.i. engine and depending on the weather they would run with a 220 Cummins.. Until they got to a gas station, then they would have to stop for more gas!!! The truck you are describing would have been an R-220 or 230. Withe the steel diamond plate it cold have had a "M" prefix??

There were 10 of them in all. 6 H-61s, 1 H-60, and 3 H-613s, they were all originally painted the same as #141 Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Small world carlotpilot! I had some relatives in West Covina back in the50s thanx all you guys for the info! A 501 6banger must have had enough torque to pull stumps! When I first started hauling cars and they were gradually switching to diesel,we had a couple f750 Ford gas jobs,one was a 477, the other a 534 they were senior driver trucks, as they would out perform the 238 Detroit's we were switching to! I drove them both,ran like raped apes,but averaged 4 mpg! Speaking of big gas jobs there was a steel hauler running out of Braddock pa with one of those long nose "Jimmys" with a v12 gas burner and a compound (probably 5and4) in the early 70s! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure of what an "M" was but I think they had a shorter hood-the typical R model cab and diamond plate fenders but a different look. Attached is a picture of Dave Mauro's F-230-done with the usual attention to detail as was the case with all of his trucks. Last one Dave did before he lost his battle with cancer.

hurstscrambler Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm not positive, in fact this is really a guess, but I believe the "M" indicates Gas as opposed to "D" for diesel. BTW, thanks for posting that pic, what a beautiful truck. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 IHurst scrambler, that truck pictured,was very similar to the one my boss had,but his truck had very few deluxe accessories(horns mirrors bumper chrome luberfiner etc) was brutal "all business" was that color though! The 534 powered f750 car hauler I drove had the first "steering assist" When it sensed a gas station it " steered" right into it!😁 just realized that Smith H model is pulling a horse van, Reminded me of the horse trailer my buddy used to pull,was a 60s era Diamond T Cabover with a Cummins and a 12 speed spicer,the rectangular Cabover like UPS had. Very rare combo I think! Chester Sayre was the company out of western PA.Hauled thoroughbred horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way it dawned on me after I posted it, but that shot was taken outside the church. Note black bunting on grill. great guy who went too soon.
