Popular Post randyp Posted January 27, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hmm,,looks like george crooked, I dropped my monitor trying to turn it upsides down to look at pictures, spilt my cheerios, still all good pics though. Other Dog gets hero of week award for fixin them too. Back in my old coal mining days, I had to do a lots of pushing round one them giant draglines, building walkways for it and such. You have to stay in close radio contact with operator all the time, as he cant stop swinging very fast. Best practice is stay out of his boom radius, but there were times when you had to "get up in there close and personal". The scariest time was when you had to drive off the face of the cut, go down in pit and push his tailings up closer to him. If you pissed the operator off, he wouldnt give you much "face cut" to drive off of. It required gathering all dirt you could in front of your blade, and driving straight off cut, hoping you dint run outta dirt or hit a giant boulder fore you found bottom. I did go gray headed at an early age too. randyp 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29637-jays-pictures-of-the-week-co-ut-trip/#findComment-160051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I wish ya got some pix of that fire truck, too- very unusual to have the pump panel on the passenger side like that. I have heard George Strait is top-shelf people. I got to meet two country stars- John Michael Montgomery and Trace Adkins. Met both of them when I was a Federal Firefightrer at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. They were there to do shows for the US Army WMR Summer Comcert Series. The Fire Dept (of course) always had exclusive backstage access- have to check those fire extinguishers and paths of egress ya know.....JMM was coming offstage after doing his set, shook our hands and invited us into his area, but he was very busy doing celebrity things, but his people were very cordial and gave us t-shirts and pre-signed CD's. Another show a few years later we had the pumper parked out back next to Trace Adkins's bus. It was a few hours before showtime. TA came outside from the recreation building where he was doing a meet-and-greet. We were caught with our pants down, didnt know he was "around and about" and we were just in our work uniforms (pants/t-shirts) and not our dress blouses which we should have had on (had we known.) He comes right over to us and greets us all like old buddies and asks if he could get some pics with us and the pumper. His photographer took some shots of him and us, and him in the driver seat. He signed the sun visor of the driver seat, too. He wanted a tour of the rig, so we showed him everything, inside all the compartments, the tools, etc. He asked some really good questions, and even tried on an air pack. Down to earth guy, big, too- about 6'3". Spent about a half hour with us, then excused himself. 5 mins later he re-appeared from the bus holding a case of cold cokes- he says "I'm pretty sure you guys cant have the case of what I was GONNA give ya, but I dont think anyone would mind you having these!" Classy guy.

other dog Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I wish ya got some pix of that fire truck, too- very unusual to have the pump panel on the passenger side like that. That would be my fault- I turned the pictures right side up, but I didn't notice until I enlarged the B cab that the breather and steering wheel were on the wrong side,so I flipped them over.

slpwlker Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Tippin has a collection of Macks and such. He uses them around his farm. He might of started out driving but thought he was a pilot. Or atleast he was a corporate pilot for a while.

jaysm35a2 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ive met Arron and seen his Macks, big play toys, Arron is just as nice as George when you talk to him for a while.The B61 I think said it had Timken rears. Is that right? I want to ask the guy about it but I dont really want ot bother him if the trucks been cut and customised. Also why the strip accross the back of the upper part of the cab?

Vladislav Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 These rears look not Timken but Mack L-model and early series B.Do they have propeller shafts with flanges for bolting together? They might have.
