Popular Post Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2013 The story of my 1992 Superliner started in Ohio at Bentley Excavating I bought it from Kenworth of Canton, Ohio Bob tailed home stopping at family in Rochester, NY for the night. Got back to Vt. the next day in the dark and went over Hazens Notch.....notthe smartest thing I ever did. It was Nov. and Hazens Notch which is a dirt road that closes for the winter Dec. 1st no vehicles over the mountain. Well it was raining and after 10 hours of driving I took the short cut....Half way up it turned to snow and I was screwed...There are quite a few 90 degree turns with a steep grade and drop offs.Tires were not the best either and we made it to the top. I got out and walked around for a few to stop shaking and headed down the other side which was ok. My wife was following me and as you know got an earful when we got home about how crazy that was...yes dear yes dear...Went through the truck and had John Bogie in Mcindoe Falls, Vt rebuild the engine. New tires and aluminum budds on the front Then put on a beau rock ledge body on itand put it to work E9 with 15 speed and 44 rears. 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30305-1992-red-superliner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 very nice to some history, sharp truckThanks! After I brought it home I contacted Bentley and sent me 10 lbs. of paperwork. From the build sheet to every oil change and component they ever changed on the truck. I was very lucky to receive that. The truck new in 1992 cost a little over 90,000 dollars.Nice and clean. Thanks Rob, I'm pretty particular with my equipment as I see you are too. The truck was set up by East mfg and has an air pto very fast.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Beautiful truck Timothy!How long have you had it?RonRon bought it in 2002 Had it till 2006. Got out of the excavating work and went back farming with my wife so could not justify a truck like that for hauling saw dust and hay around the farm. My wife wanted me to keep it but My friend who owned the JD dealership wanted it so we traded a JD4430 and a JD 2550 4x4 for the truck. He didn't even look at the truck, he said; I know your particular with your equipment and delivered the tractors to my farm and took the truck. It is now in Canada and the gent is very happy with it from what I'm told. Then I got the maroon Superliner and dump trailer.

Felt outta place with all them large cars around me LOL! I have pictures somwhere.Have a buddy that still works at East, he's a supervisor.Thanks Larry, I enjoyed it very much and the secretary at the Kenworth dealer was very nice...my wife gave me some dirty looks. East does some nice work. I was impressed with their workmanship.Beautiful truck and photos!Thanks Jim, After the engine rebuild the truck was putting out 42 pounds of boost. Had to prove it a few times pulling loaded against 475 cat and 550 cummins. Guy in freightliner 475 talking his truck up and he left the pit in front of me. I caught him on the hill and pulled up next to him, smiled then got back behind him...He didn't say to much after that. The boys at the town garage never saw a truck go past the garage up hill doing 55 mph. It was awesome! Here are some photo's of a job when I had the truckwow that is a nice superliner , do you know who has it now in Canada ?mackniac, I don't know for sure but someone in Ontario.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Vinny I think most trucks that head to the boat have one foot in the grave already. Don't think they'd pay top dollar 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30305-1992-red-superliner/#findComment-170361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
