  1. The truck only hauled stone and then when they went out of business the guy who bought it was going to redo it and put a lift axle on it and go work for Tilcon but he never got that far and then we ended up with it so it probably hasn't been used in the last 20 yrs
  2. Ex-HiHo. My dad saw it hiding at Tilcon's plant in Newtown from the owner of Hi Ho D'Addario with a spun bearing in the motor. A month later it was painted and running got on the highway and realized it went slow! It only went 52mph. Ran it for a year and then changed ring and pinions in the rears and got it up to 65mph. Used it as a site truck later in Wallingford.
  3. Yeah but if they had 10 trucks and 10 drivers and one truck burned that means one driver doesn't have a job or if it was a owner/operator they lost probably their only truck
  4. I think what he means is that the person who owned or drove the truck can not work any more because they do not have a truck to make money with anymore
  5. Ex-Foxon concrete truck was originally wrecker then repowered in mid-70s with brand new 711 and they put a brand new 16ft aluminum dump on it for use going back and forth to Tilcon according to Angelo Frione we acquired the truck in the late 90s it is currently waiting for restoration
  6. My Dad re-powered a bunch of the B-models back in the early 80s from 220s to 250s and the tri-axle B-81they have, he had to take the lift axle off to change the bell housing and the one they gave him came off one of the autocars which had the starter on the other side of the motor so he had to run new cables and the fact it had a 24volt system made it even better
  7. They run a bunch of granites now but i think they still have a lot of their old trucks
  8. We had a guy that wanted a job, saw the two stick six speed in the truck and ran out of the yard crying

  19. Does anyone have pictures of Agra trucks from North Branford? he had a lot of old macks in back including a bunch of Beards trucks. He also had a bunch of R700s with cool paintjobs.
  20. He bought ten of those from Della Construction also Brancifort got his Superliner from Della too
  21. That is what were planning on doing when it gets to at least 30 degrees out
  22. Check to make sure you have air going to the cylinder and if you don't its probably the "Mulit Position Air Switch" and if you do it is probably the mini air cylinder
