Actually not a bad looking truck when you got it, looks great now. How bad was the hood broken?

JC McHugh had at least one of them https://www.mchughlocomotive.com/historic-locomotives-saved-from-the-flames-of-the-scrappers-torch-by-mchugh/

Yeah could be a fail

The biggest thing I ever ran was one of these 44 tonners when I worked for McHugh on their Tyburn RR division. We handled lots of stuff for the USS Fairless Works there. That one had 6-71 Detroits in it.

It seems to be way overkill if they are just using it to move a couple railcars around a yard. I moved a lot of that stuff and MOW equipment on my Landoll and even a 6 car mover only has like a 100 HP engine if even that much. I'd love to know the "why" behind building it

Years ago at Certified Steel we had a Trackmobile 2TM for moving railcars in the yard. It had a Willys Hurricane 4 cylinder in it, and to get traction it picked up on the rail car's coupler. But it was only rated for 2 railcars

Just saw the picture. Can't find a story behind it or where it is. Seems like it'd be too light to get any traction. Maybe it picks up on the coupler like a car mover?

Yeah, but on a Landoll, with those little tires?

With 55,000 rears? It's going to be heavy. My Trail King TK70SA trailer weighs 21,000. Hooked up to the R Model with 38 rears or the LTL9000 Ford , with chains, dunnage and ready to go it's almost 40,000

1200r24 tube types can be bought pretty cheap in China if you order 100. I wonder how much it costs to actually get them here though. 24" Dayton rims are hard to find in good condition also. Wonder if anybody still makes them

That was my friend Ted Covington's truck. He had a towing company on 611 and if I remember right School House Lane in Pipersville Pa. Loved Mack. He used to say Mack was the only real truck, everything else is just something some guys put together in a garage. Big guy, strong like an ox, loved ice cream lol

Parkhurst is the publisher, but in the most technical sense, the magazine belongs to the federal bankruptcy referee. Parkhurst’s corporation overextended itself with a feature-length movie about interstate haulers, starring the late, great Sonny Liston. Even with this setback, Parkhurst points out, Overdrive has never stopped spending money on efforts to aid those in the same fight. One of the projects Parkhurst brags of helping is the only other obvious rallying point of the truckers’ breakout: the Fraternal Association of Steel Haulers. The help amounted to $87,000 in 1967, after F.A.S.H. was born on a picket line in front of Teamster Local 142 in Gary, Indiana. The local rebellion spread into a wildcat strike that crippled the steel industry for 13 weeks and steel haulers began to organize outside of Teamster control for the first time. Today F.A.S.H. has chapters throughout steel country with two regional offices in Gary, Indiana, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In Gary, miles of steel mills float in a three-day stink. The local F.A.S.H. office centers around Paul Dietsch, a veteran organizer against the Teamsters, who says: “These people [independent drivers] go overseas every 20 years to fight a war for democracy, they come home, go to work for a trucking company that’s under the Teamsters and all of a sudden, they haven’t any rights at all. Their balls shrivel up to the size of peas and they won’t stand up to nothin’ … We decided to change that.” Continued https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/the-truckers-go-to-washington-democracy-in-action-on-the-interstate-68811/5/

Anyone else remember this?

Yeah, I know about Jones and Laughlin. I've been following this Tod Engine thing since the internet started. I grew up in the shadow of the USS Fairless Works.

Bretton Woods has a putrid Keynesian stink about it

It takes a lot longer to build a barn up, than it does to kick one down

Clinton put the screws to American manufacturing, and pretty much any American who got their hands dirty working. But it goes back even farther than that. The collapse became very apparent with the closing of the Campbell Works of YS&T on Sept. 19, 1977 "Black Monday" instantly putting 5,000 men out of work. But the planning for this ass ramming of Americans had to go even farther back, How far? I don't know, I was in high school in 1977 and had no idea that there were globalists with plans to destroy America. Just the idea of it was inconceivable to me.
