Popular Post other dog Posted May 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2014 I recently spent some time in Levaisy, West Virginia and saw some equipment parked there, like this Detroit Diesel powered Taylor and this gas powered motor grader. 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

gearhead204 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 A Taylor ? never heard of that brand looks like a cross between a fat alice and a condom (Trojan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 The Taylor looks to have a kinship to my Scoop Mobile.

other dog Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 We have a Taylor forklift at the shop. They use them at the steel mill in Petersburg too, and you see them a lot at sawmills.

j hancock Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Haven't thought about a Scoop Mobile forever. There was a fellow near me that had one years ago. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Haven't thought about a Scoop since I bought that 5 gallon bucket of spinach-pistachio ripple ice cream. There was a fellow near me that had one years ago, but his favorite was strawberry/anchovie so I didn't visit him much .I like vanilla myself.

Superdog Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Haven't thought about a Scoop Mobile forever. There was a fellow near me that had one years ago.I haven't either. My late friend Mike Pagel had 3 or 4 old ScoopMobiles. Pretty sure they went to the scrapper when he died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensts Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 that old Galion grader is the same as the one they still use here in my hometown. its got a little detroit in it. Not sure which one is in better shape but the one in the picture has more glass in it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmerrill0516 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Dad used to spend some time loading trailers with a Scoopmobile. Was an 8 yard machine...it was enormous for an 8 yard machine. There is a guy around here that has a front plow and rear wing on a grader similar to the one above for pushing snow. It has a screaming Detroit in it. Does the best job with the banks in town...it kinda crabs down the road shoving it back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think there's 4 Scoopmobiles with in a 10 mile radius of me both 3 and 4 wheel. I can remember as a kid the state had one parked at every sand shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
