Popular Post other dog Posted December 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2015 I took a load of steel from N.B.Handy in Lynchburg down to N.B.Handy in Columbia, S.C. this week. Stopped at the truck stop at exit 48 on I-77 to get a bite to eat. Saw some big ti- uh, tires on a Jeep as I was leaving. Then I went to Ehrhardt, S.C. to get a load of posts going to Schaefferstown, Pa. Saw some trucks, buses, and tractors parked along rt.321. At least one of the Massey Ferguson's had a V8. My neighbor just up the road has a V8 Massey Ferguson, an 1155 I think, and he always keeps it clean and shining like a new one- never seen anybody keep a tractor as clean as he does. Saw a red truck too, and some posts in the mirror. Cotton field, and some more posts in the mirror. Nice green trees... Lots of posts at Keystone Fence in Schaefferstown- Amish buggy on rt.501 in Pa. Saw several of these loads going south on 81. Looked like bundles of old tires, the trucks were out of Quebec. I picked up a load of bricks in Williamsport, Md. and took them to Lynchburg, then got a load of pipes going to Zelienople, Pa. Saw a nice looking old International on rt. 60 in W.V. And a really nice looking R model behind it- there's Redneck up ahead of me with another load of pipes. We were both going to the same place. When we were getting unloaded the next morning on the side of rt. 19, standing out in the rain talking, a man walked up and introduced himself as 75T. He was passing by and saw the truck and stopped to say hello. I asked him how he knew it was me and he said "I saw double-nickle". Pretty cool I thought, for him to stop. Real nice guy, he had offered to help me and offered a place to park when I had the incident in Evans City with an overweight ticket. 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

They had a Raleigh, Greenville,S.C, Hanover,Md, and some place down on the coast of S.C.I picked the Greenville, and they have a load of coils in Spartanburg coming back to Handy. But when I was on the way to the shop I saw I had a message on my phone- they wanted me to take the Raleigh load, unload Monday morning, then come back to the yard and get another load of pipes going to the same place in Zelienople. I would have liked to had that run, but i'd already loaded the Greenville load. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Sat there for a long time, but it's gone now. Good looking tractors, had a big wide hood on them, and the twice pipes! 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Mcrafty1 Posted December 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2015 Nice bunch of pics....sure is nice to see a big set like those in the first pic, and they make 'er look tough too. I thinking they maybe even help out the ride, usually they help the over all performance or at least it seems that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGiant2 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 the international tractors had a dt550. made by IH. they also put these in the trucks too. the tractors were made to run on 4 cyl. when in eco. mode and 8 when working. 1468 and 1568 were the tractor models 1 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

RedBullDog Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 And the twice the pipes was prolly a 9-0-nuttin..Kinda like the Deere 8850 4wd's. Deere used a v8 scraper motor that was made to run much faster rpm's, then castrated it and crammed it in there with an undersized radiator. I ran one of them years ago, and was happy to return to my 8650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I liked the note of how they (big tires) "help out the ride" and "help the over all performance" Tom, thank you for the pictures!Just ran out of likes already. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
