Well i dont like the way the trucks end up and not taken care of in some countries, they have no respect for equipment and no judgement in using them.

I agree bigdog, as I have lost so much of my manufacturing business to Mexico and points south I wouldn't be a part of selling trucks down there, I would rather junk them first.

Hello 607t1173, I could not have said it any better...........Paul

Welcome......very nice

Yes Jim & Mark, once our parents are lost to the ages do we really grow up and have regrets.

I will tell you, I would give everything I own to have my Mother and Father back for one single day.

Its one family, the oldest is the grandfather who I believe is 84 still driving one, down to the grandsons, I will get pics with their permission, hopefully some video to post, I owe them a visit after all these years. They wave every time they see me still, and the trucks are kept in immaculate shape.

Hi realwolfdaddy, A company here on Cape Cod is still running only B81's hauling asphalt and feeding a local crushing plant operation. I believe they still have one of mine that I sold in 1970 on Nantucket Island.......Paul

At least the secondary road system in Eastern Europa has improved sinse the war!!

Hi 1958 F.W.D., Did you mean they didn't pay overtime if they worked more than their normal hours or if they got stuck there after they got off work?

I couldn't help myself on this shitty day, LOL Snows coming down sideways.

Hi Shawn, I don't know

I remember that storm well, a combination of a Northeaster and Hurricane, lasted 3 full days. Took over a month to dig out the Boston area. The National Guard flew in equipment to Albany, they plowed all the way to Boston on the Mass Pike, cutting down guard rails with acetaline torches to cross the highway. They flew more equipment to Warwick, RI to plow north and meet up with the units coming in from the west. State Police headed north and west from Cape Cod with many volunteers on snowmoblies and using long probes located cars buried on the interstates. Many people died in their cars, I swore Id never ever see another storm like that. The above pic with bulldozers looks like they are plowing into Boston on the Southeast Expressway. Building in distance is definately the Prudential Center...Paul

Didn't Yarde Metals Supply based in Southington, CT buy all the Edgecomb assests? I buy 50% of my aluminum from Yarde and they run trucks that are painted black.....Paul

Hi Jacob, Thats a cool name..

Welcome Mark

Nice job MikeD, hope minne can get done like that

Nice Superdog, how many dogs do you have....Paul

i agree ap40rocktruck

I saw this picture long time ago, I believe these trucks are used at New York Cities Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island. I also saw the same truck being used in the World Trade Center cleanup.

Hi Tommy, Did you know this was going to be an overhead crane span rather than a track machine boom? Still looks quite impressive on you're trailer, can use it in you're advertising.......Paul

Thanks for compliment on equipment Vlad, all old line names, Bridgeport, South Bend, Brown & Sharp, Cincinnati, DoAll, Pratt &* Whitney, etc. Shame is, and I dont know how this government let it happen, several have filed bankruptsy and long gone, 10 to 20 years ago, Bridgeport, South Bend, Brown & Sharp, Pratt & Whitney to name a few.............Paul

Hi Vlad, i thimk in the context that you wrote it would be "my" also needed to "write", doubt if I ever could learn Russian, you are doing very well.....Paul

Hi superdog, That machine is all hydraulic, no screws, you can see the hydraulic pump to the left on the floor, you put a model or part under the stylus to the right of the heads and it copies it in 3 dimensions. For heavy work you probably need a big turret mill this size........Paul

Hi Vlad, I was suprised about the camels too. I don't understand, I thought there was only one Kremlin in Moscow?.............Paul
