Popular Post Bullheaded Posted February 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2020 So just started reading a book my good friend Hank sent me. "A History and Memories of International Harvester In Canada 1903-1985" I recommend this book to all IH fans. Which led me to searching Google Images, so sorry, I cannot credit the taker of this pic. Anyway, not only was Ontario, Canada the home of the Mack M-Series off road trucks, but also the Payhauler. Man, were these (and the Mack M) ever good looking trucks! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I’m surprised that such a heavy duty truck like that being a single axle. Neat truck at any rate.

Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted February 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2020 "The search for a suitable replacement for the aging [Mack] M123 series 10-ton 6x6 [tractor) lead to the purchase of some commercial models as interim vehicles. Known as the XM532E2, it was based on the commercial off-highway Model 8066 ["Payhauler"] by International Harvester, and used the truckmaker's own DTI-817 six-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled 375 horsepower diesel engine, with a torque converter-equipped Clark four-speed powershift transmission. Four ranges combined with four gears gave 16 forward speeds. A relative lightweight vehicle at 38,790 pounds, the XM532E2 had more than its share of maintenance problems and only remained in the U.S. Army's fleet about five years. Planetary gear axles were used with 14.00x24 tires. The wheelbase was a very short 160 inches, and the set-back front axle gave a 39 degree angle of approach. The XM532E2 was a relatively slow truck, at 31 miles per hour maximum speed, but the 220 gallon fuel tank gave it a 325 mile range. A 60,000 pound capacity hydraulic winch was mounted amidship for recovery operations. The tractor is seen in this picture coupled to a 55-ton capacity M524E1 trailer with a collapsible gooseneck, and carrying an M60A1 medium tank." . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thanks for those pics KS. I wonder what problems they had? I have read that these Payhaulers would run circles around the Mack and Euclids of the time. They said they had higher top speed than all the other haul trucks of the time. (I'm talking about these original late 50's/early 60's Payhaulers.) But the ones that came with Rolls Royce engines had problems, like high oil consumption and failures. (IH Canada used a lot of Rolls Royce power at at time.) Now the later Payhaulers with all wheel drive that had the dual tires front and rear.....they did not earn a very good reputation for reliability. There are still one or two of those working in our local steel mill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Regardless of who was better, I have room at my place if anyone wants to park Mack M, Payhauler or R35 Euclid here. I drove an early R35 Euclid with a 6-71 Detroit and no power steering. What an experience that was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehummell Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I had the pleasure of running 769's 773's and 777's and they beat you a lot worst than any on road trucks. In the strippings you would hit a bounce and i would be airborne when i would get loaded with a big excavator it would shake the crap out of you and when you tipped your load sometimes it would lift the front wheels off the ground it was a hard return to the ground.

Bullheaded Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Nice pic Swishy. That is the same style we have here in the steel mill if any of the two are still running. They have everything from C500 and 6900 Star dump trucks, up to 777 Cats in there. They are pretty cool looking with the duals front and rear, but I have always heard these models were plagued with mechanical issues.

Gateway Terminals is a large bulk material handler in New Haven Conn. Outbound scrap steel is one material they handle. Not sure if they still use them but they had a bunch of those 8 wheeled Internationals and they would drive out onto the pier where the scrap ships we tied up. The cargo cranes had what looked like huge drag line buckets and the trucks would back into the buckets, dump the load, then the cranes would lift them up and dump into the ship. Quite an operation. How about it Blackdog-still doing it that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
