2stacksuperdog Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 They used to have a quite a few U-Models.They bought 6 U-models from Hallamore. They were 84's with 300s, Hallamore got them from Hertz-Penski and put 2 stick 6 speeds in them. My dad was told to cut all the A/C belts on them.

I was told they didnt have power steering either. They just use those R-Model's for jockeying trailers, right?

2stacksuperdog Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 They use the R-models for jobs that are close and mostly moving welders, cables, etc. As for the DMs my dad says they had power steering and it was a big change when Hallamore got those going from 237 to 300+. Hallamore painted them for Blakeslee and sold them to them since they were registered in CT.

That superliner is now owned by Crosby's Northeast Foundations of Branford, but Blakeslee A and C still got their tandem superliner tractor that they use all the time when the KW sits in the corner 2 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/14/#findComment-164713 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan was a top notch company then. Right up there with Cat. We still run a 475 as spare quarry loader. Mean looking machine! It has alot more class then the komatsu.
