philatruck Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nice pics Mike, What happened to Donald's company? I never recalled seeing their trucks around.What kind of dozer is #60 hauling, I am guessing a Komatsu D455a-1? 1 Quote -Mike Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/6/#findComment-162513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Donald was my father,and all the work we did was done up state,in Frackville,Minerville.Did a job in Newark,Del.We got out of it in 2006-07.Got rid of all the iron right before the bottom drop out.Most of the big stuff(d9's,773's,992,375) stayed somewhat local.Just about all the smaller iron went overseas.We did ship the last D9 to Africa.It was an old 66A model,was the best running tractor we had.Would love to be back in it but there's no money to be made.

hicrop10 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yes that was a Komatsu D455,when it was brand new.That was back around 1984.We traded in a HD41 tractor on it.I can remember moving that HD41 with the blade still on the tractor.Now adays you can hardly move a D6 with the blade still on it.That one pic of us moving the Koehring 1166 was when we moved it from Pedricktown NJ over to the Philly airport.We only removed the counter weight left the boom and stick in it.We were somewhere close to 250,000lbs.

philatruck Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Mike D, I think your father's CL713 belongs to Thackray crane now, I seen this truck several times.Looks almost identical expect theirs has a headache rack.http://thackraycrane.com/thackray-crane-rental-liberty-power-inside-crane-lift/ Quote -Mike Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/6/#findComment-162904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yes they do own my old truck.The fellow that drives it is going to help me lift the cab off my B87 tractor.Thackray brought it from Trenten Mack,but first Trenten Mack had sold it to a scrap dealer in NJ and he didn't have the truck very long before the smog patrol over in NJ caught him and tested the truck.It failed badly so he sold it back to Trenten Mack and Thackray brought it.I have seen it many times.Truck has one of the last mechincal motors that Mack built.We had the pump turn all the way up.Top speed wasn't all that great about 72mph,but it would pull a mountain up another mountain.MikeD 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/6/#findComment-162913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Rahns Construction Materials B-Model from Rahns, PA. Macungie 2011Looks great. Just the right amount of chrome and that small amount of pinstriping really dresses it up. 2 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/6/#findComment-162931 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson got one of their Pete tractors and a little international water truck. They're both still brown, don't know if they'll ever get a respray. RCC is laying the trolley track on Richmond St, and I think I remember only one of their excavators being painted all red.
