One more for good measure. Probably old Jorsted Creek log dump on Hood Canal.

Here are a few more. You don't see loads like some of these anymore. Black & white photo is new in 56.

But yes, then again they are very powerful compared to the slugs. We had a few years ago shift and shift and shift doesn’t change the fact you only got 180 hp.

Thank you GW.. Your words speak truth..

I know the pain you are feeling, and you have my sympathy. Those that have never had a close relationship with another animal can't understand the pain losing one can be. I had to put one down, and I had another die "natural", and the pain and loss is no different. Only thing is with the first you know it is coming and is a relief for the animal. Either way it is the loss of a family member. I allowed myself to grieve and then when the time was right, took another into my heart and home. Peace be with you and your family at this hard time.

Yup all for the best better not suffering!

Yes it is tough. Sorry for your loss.

Back when mem were men ! no AC ; engine right behind the operator ; who by the way worked for way less then todays workers having AC ; enclosed cab; hyd machine = two joy sticks ;;;; not three levers; two pedals and miles of cable / R I P ;; Robert Rich . a man I grew up to respect to the highest degree, could run his Baycity with such expertise = feet and hands movement to keep the boom/ bucket all in tacked .

Its tough Joey....One of the hardest things to do but as you say he's at peace now.. Paul

Suzio Meriden Conn.

lol I feel your pain I trained on a steel dash U model and broke in on a steel dash R model-these trucks these days all I can say is there a lot more comfortable and quiet and that’s about it… bob

Those things were really big back in the day. People are still using them now, my uncle had them on all of his Brockways but sorry I don’t know what to tell you I don’t think. They were part of the build. I wanna say they’re aftermarket, but I am not sure somebody else will probably chime in good luck. … bob

Paul... We had to give Charlie peace today. He had been sick for a year, and this last week was tough for him. He is the "Red Dog" in the picture. He was going to 8 years old in December.. Now he is resting.. need to stop now, i cant see the key board anymore...

Probably their version of a granite, which is probably called something else over there I expect

I think somebody took us off track it used to be H model Mack’s lol oh well Joey let’s hear it

That sucks my first rebuilt. I put the hill holder in backwards, so it would only go in reverse. Luckily, it was all in the tail shaft. I did not have to pull the entire unit apart just the tail section.

here is the I.D. tag onit.. My mistake ,,,, 5500#...

as usual some of my co-workers wont fix an expensive tool. they just throw it in the dumpster. This one got tossed because the front wheel bearings went bad. I bought the correct wheel kit from U-line and fixed it at home. My new 5000# pallet jack cost me 1hour, and $110..
