What a Beauty!

Thanks for posting the pictures of the BU 199. She's a beauty! She does need a coat of paint but what a machine! Everything about her is all about work. Takes me back about 27 years......how I wish I could hear her ROAR!! one more time.

Hello Camptramp!
Thank you for the BU-199 pictures! Is this the same yarder as in #2583? And are you able to read the serial number from the original picture or maybe get it from Mr. Brian Dickson? I'm pretty sure this yarder belonged to Mike Graves before it came to Vancouver Island from Alaska and that it originally was a Louisiana Pacific-yarder from northern California. I'm also sure it was one of the first one made because the primary chain drive housing was redesigned in 1976.

So HDX, what's been happening lately in the Sarita area?

RCP57,I agree. Need an update. I have been out of the loop for or 3 weeks. Home today.

Been busy moving things here and there Nothing as exciting as the lowbed trailer fires caycusian posts. We run water on our brakes and that kind of prevents that sort of thing from happening.

Fire season over, time to bring in the tankers. First two are 6-229 and 6-252.

Crown Z preload, now numbered CSP 12.
Other truck unit 3685 was BCFP unit 6-222, I believe.

 

[RCP57]

Thank you. More please sir.

Nice stuff....The CZ truck has a interesting look with out the water tank/canopy on it.I think I can see the fuel tank still hiding behind the cab..

Always good to see something moving and shaking down the road, out there. Thanks HDX
