Is that a pup behind that new Pete?

I suspect it is a full load of 32's. (Compared to the camp building alongside it.) Typical loggers, load everything up until it breaks, fix it and back off just a hair.

If you fix it it should be good for a few more pounds…

I’m referring to the log behind, at a 45° angle to the load on the first Pete. Maybe they have a truck tucked into the back of that load?

Nope, that is a full load, 32s perhaps but a full load. Now, when you refer to a pup, I immediately think of a short logger trailer. What I'm seeing is two long log loads powered by the Pete in the foreground. You didn't need a lot of power, there was no adverse in those days it was always favorable grade. You just needed good brakes.
I think we might be saying the same thing, just using different nomenclature.

How about this old GMC 620 from Oregon

How about this old GMC 620 from Oregon

With a whopping 4-71 for power-it was a all day event.

This 860 hauled milled lumber most of it's life.

I'd say 6-71, 2 valve head, 5 & 4 with a tall gear ratio.

Fageol went out of business Jan 1 1939, Sterling bought Fageol for about 5 cents on the dollar.
Sterling then sold the remainder two months later to Peterman for $50,000. Below is from best
of records by a known Peterbilt aficionado one of the first if not the first Pete built in 1939.

Looking at this again…that bunk/wing log on the new pete appears to be well over 64’ long if the other “long logs” are 32’.

Well how about splitting the difference a 5-71--it's just another detroit powered jimmy-most
all 620's had 4-71's. Most 860's had 6-71's.

And the guessing game of what brand this truck is?

Not sure but I think these two photos belong together. It's a IH West Coaster.

What do you reckon a log like that weighs?

I'm betting there's about 18,000 board feet in that log so you're looking at about a 55,000 lb log

Based on the idea that it is a coast grown Douglas Fir (guy is wearing rain gear like he lives in it) and it is a 32' log 96" both ends, no taper, the calculator says it is 79,184 pounds. Which seems a little heavy for the era. ('50s, early '60s) 68,000 being the "normal" weight with a permit allowing up to 72,000. But, if it is a Saturday, who knows....

I noticed when I drove by today that your shop looked like a ghost town. Is all OK?
