other dog Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Here is another shot of ATHS member Gaspar "Gap" Sparacio Stainless one, and one of it in it's day as a worker.They used to have one of these parked in front of an Edgcomb Steel we used to load at, up north of Philly...can't remember the name of it. There was lots of Edgcomb Steel centers around, even one in Troy, Va. but it's Mac Steel now.This one was at the White Bash at the Keystone Tractor Museum a few years ago. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Joe Ditchkus Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Jim that looks like Tony Bullards Acar. Good looking Northeast style lowboy tractor.

Would it just slide right over top of a car with that long snout and monster truckright over it? It's like a cabover with 10ft of nose in front of it.

Joe Ditchkus Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That green 1950 Acar was for sale by me in Northeastern,Pa. about 2 years ago. It was reasonable in price.It came from a concrete and blacktop plant in Scranton,Pa. H.B. Sproul who is now out of business. They were around forever as I remember. I went to look at it and did not call back until it was gone.I talked to new owner he plans on putting cab on a late model chassis,I think he said to pull travel trailer.Joe D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 What was the purpose of that set up? Can't wrap my mind around why you would want/need a nose like that.CBM is a Canadian Concrete company and that unit hauls demo. CBM probably converted a mixer chassis, got the length and the typical 72" spread on the rears. Post # 594 has a long nose mixer photo I posted.
