The H-60 and H-61 were called the "cherry picker" because they were so tall. I think they shortened the H-63s and H-67s by 11 inches. Here's an H-61 and an H-63.

OK, thanks for that. Yes, I see the difference. Those things were pretty much gone even when I was a young young teenager. I did sit in one that was on a wrecking yard about 1970. I was a round 14 . That’s the only one I can never remember and my area.

I would love to have a little single axle flatbed like this to pull behind the big green International that runs now. The sign in the window said the owner was from New Alexandria, Pa, which is also the home of Watt's Mack. The B-71 was a 1956 and the trailer was a 1946 Fruehauf. Not sure what year the golf cart is.

I talked to the couple that brought this beautiful B 53 too. I liked it because as I told them "it's nice to see a B model that's not red". I told them that I used to have a B-53S myself, it was a cement mixer, came from Roanoke- and it was red. And I sold it waaaay too cheap. They said theirs used to be a mixer too, and it came from Roanoke, so it might have come from the same place. This one still has the quadruplex transmission it it, but a friend of theirs had changed the rears for them, and it had 3.55's in it. The guy said it might be the fastest B model on the east coast, it would run 70+ with no problem. Mines had 7.?? something rears, and you had to stand on it to run 55mph.

That is a beautiful truck. They told me her father had restored it and intended to use it to haul his draft horses to shows. Gotta say that is style. Sadly back at the beginning of the year her father went to bed  and never woke up. I didn't see the for sale sign, wonder how much they are asking?

I don't know, I didn't ask them. Didn't hear about her father, sad, but that's the best way you can go I guess.

I have seen that truck at Watts  more than once it might’ve been pulling the same trailer, but I was more focused on that tractor. Don’t see many with the nose sticking out past the fenders. We all discussed that trade I don’t remember why that is haul  Scott perhaps and yes it’s a cool trailer

Missed this somehow Tom the way my DM is screaming to the floor 55 but I’m changing the transmission. Hopefully the new one will have taller gears. If not, I just won’t take it out of town.
