truklodyte, sorry, that was the only pic I had of that little crane.

Here are some trackloaders, though

My first concrete mixer was that orange Autocar tractor up there with the flathead six gas engine and 5x4 in it and a 7cy Jeager mixer on it.Four barrel carb and dual exhaust,that thing would pull!!I might mention that it was HOT in that cab in the summer.
Near the end of its life we made a dump truck out of it and I taped a dime to sun visor and just hoped that I was near a phone booth when it broke.LOL.Ron G

place like that here in MN, as the man said "come and see me at the estate sale"

 

[truklodyte]

Please get more photos ,I am like a junkie I need more of a fix.

 

[dieseldave]

Don't worry, I have plenty more:thumbsup Also, I just came across an envelope full of 4x6 prints from an older Gerhart's show which include a walk through the Allentown Mack plant. I'm working on scanning those in and I'll post them once I get that done.

But for now I'm going to hijack my own thread for a second to show you Bulldog fans a couple of oil paintings I've been working on.

 

[mitch504]

Where in MN.?

A cable blade D7F, a Cat grader (a 14 I think), and another shot of Dave's super nice 711 powered B model.

 

[RonG]

Ahhh yes..........the old 711.They made them in gas and diesel....211 horsepower in either version.I've driven both flavors.That is one beautiful B-61......that looks like 24" rubber as well.Does it have power steering?Many did not back in those days,ooooff,I don't even want to think about it.LOL.
Mack offered a turbo for that engine as an add on to help it run cooler as they tended to blow headgaskets from time to time.It did not increase the power but was supposed to last longer between the need for replacing those pesky gaskets.Thanks for sharing and getting me started.Ron G

 

[stuart olson]

the guy in minnesota is "near" the le suer pioneer power showgrounds his collection is mostly cat crawlers and scrapers DW20 DW15 letournou offerings cat D8's coming out of his ears. pull scrapers of most types cable rippers ect. mack lowboys and a good collection of antiqe farm tractors and cat spare parts (ever seen a corn crib full of final drives?)
if you go to the pioneer power show and meet him he does give tours of his stuff

 

[truklodyte]

just stick your hand threw steering wheel and grab both sticks to shift. I love that ,that is better than the new push button allison automatic. The old thermodyne engines w/out turbo .
