I don't think I know him. Did he work for Racho or something?

Turn it upside down and let it sit for a week 🙃

Yeah, the stacks were a dead giveaway. Amazing how we hauled loads without 8" stacks 13 feet in the air back in the day

Big Bad 318

Crane Carrier Corp with a Sheller-Globe Cab I thought I had more pictures, I'll have to post them when I find them. BTW Sheller-Globe also built the later Brockway "Mack Cab"

24.5 will go on a 24" multi piece rim. The 24.5 has a tapered bead and the narrow part on the taper is real close to 24". Of course a tube is required. WARNING, DO NOT DO THIS, IT'S A BOMB AND THE MORTICIAN WILL HAVE TO PUT YOUR HEAD BACK ON WITH SCREWS AND GLUE. That being said I saw it done and told the guy to get the damn thing out of my shop. Back in the 1970's we used to see 16.5 tires on 16 inch rims now and again. There was common misinfo out there that a 16.5 was just a tubeless 16. It happened enough that we got a safety bulletin about it from somebody. The taper on the bead of the XX.5 tires doesn't lock the ring in like it should, and being the tire is only tight on the rim in a narrow area, as you go down the road there is motion between locking parts. This mismatch makes the Kelsey Hayes 2 piece wheel look safe

I had some gears that went on a tapered shaft for a really old Cleveland overhead bridge crane. The new custom made gears had the taper cut just a hair big and the gear went on the shaft too far. I shimmed them with paper. The crane ran another 15 or 20 years until they tore the building down. Damn that thing was old. they claimed 1890's, all riveted construction, and it used carbon piles for resistors in the motor speed control. Had two hoists, and the cab traveled on the bridge with one of the hoists, that was a funky feeling

A lot of ENDT675 parts can be used. I even saw a guy use fire ring maxidyne liners in an old 18 Stud END673 one time. He cut the grooves in the head and modified the Maxidyne head gasket Then again, we're noy sure the OP has a 673, he could have a 711. Not sure how available liner kits are for a 711 anymore

Back when they let us use real dump trucks. Before the government got serious about all that axle weight nonsense

I kind of get the feeling that there was some miscommunication at the tire shop. I get young guys all the time who don't know a 11r24.5 is a 10r22 and so on. Tube type sizes are ancient history to them

How much?

I've had hookers tell me that the bigger the stacks, the smaller,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, So I only ever ran one stack and kept it short And then there is the bridges and low doorways thing here in the Northeast

Yeah I ran up against that limit somehow, and I'm in my sixties and really don't like anybody

You know this whole bidding online, sight unseen and then having to drag it back hundreds or thousands of miles isn't for me. Even the auctions that I go to end up with me bidding against someone who had never seen it. 2400 mile round trip. 6mpg, 400 gallons at $4.00 $1600 just in fuel

Last time I bought a 24 inch tube type radial it was somewhere close to $1,000 I think that was 2 or 3 years ago

Don't forget, this is a toy, he's not puling a loaded trailer around. I'm not seeing a heat problem bobtailing or pulling a camper going to car shows

The bead profile is different. The tube type bead is flat, the tubeless has an angle to it. I've seen it done, but I wasn't going near it

Sold Amount USD 9,112.50 Plus a buyers premium Plus how many thousands to bring it home I'm figuring 15k by the time it's in my yard Not Cheap Enough for ME

Yeah, same bore and stroke as a maxidyne. No oil sprays to cool the pistons and no turbo, no fire ring liners. but you're not pulling a loaded trailer around and lugging it down low like a Maxidyne with a 5 speed. I wouldn't worry about a turbo, you'll just make some black smoke. Don't forget, when you have a turned up engine, you can always ease up on your right foot if you think you are pushing it too hard

Running local I never put any kind of big milage on them. I think that Cat had like 350K when it broke. But I bought it when it was 10 years old, and who knows if the guy was testing and treating the coolant. A lot of my days are spent loading and unloading, running a forklift, taking preloaded trailers that were dropped in my yard to a construction site. Stuff like that keeps me from getting bored. Some days I just take one of my forklifts out to load someone else's trucks. Although I've really been slowing down now because I'm getting older and I can't work like I did when I was 20 something or even 40 or 50 something
