Its a funny thing about putting a machine on a low bed ,that you never think about the two and a half feet of track on the lowbed, all you think of is the six inches hanging over the edge

Looking at Post #865, it appears that the hood is actually sloping upward toward the front. I have noticed this before in photos of Hayes trucks posted here. Was that common, perhaps among older Hayes trucks?

yes the Hayes had high rads. when you break over a hill with a Hayes its a second or so before you see whats ahead of you . The #6-232 had a higher rad tank than most Hayes it's my under standing that when it was new it had a heating problem. instead of putting a thicker rad core in it , someone put a higher rad core in it ,probably to save the cost of matching rad tanks . That a real plus for the Pacific's ,they have better visibility of the road in front of you ,I've never driven an 849 or 850 Kenworth but I suspect holds true for them to.

That would have to be a Caycuse truck there was a self loading Chunk Truck with a " Courtenay Heel Boom" similar to that one #191 at Renfrew Div. it was still there in 1966 when I first hired on it disappeared shortly after then but I cann't remember exactly when.. When we were loading Heli wood at the old Harris Cr. camp I found a round brass tag with #191 stamped on it.

Renfrew Div. Those pictures were taken quite a few years ago . I can remember running the #74 log loader on a landing just above the first picture of the lowbed on the Grierson M/L. I was loading out logs yarded by the #797 Skajit steel tower ,We were being visited by a new Workmens Compensation Board Inspector ,strait out of the office didn' t have a clue about what was going on . The yarder pulled the turn into a hang up ,the chocker broke ,the noise went from a screaming Jimmy to a quite lull. The landingman pointed out the broken chocker bell flying over the top of the tower . By that time our new WCB inspector was trying to crawl under the yarder which was a tank mount , he didn't get far maybe his hard hat and head with his ass sticking out and his knee's digging for forward motion . If I remember correctly ,that was his one and only visit.

Renfrew Div. #6-232 HDX Hayes Getting a highway B Train out to the woods to pick up shake bolts isn't an easy chore . We use to tow them up the steeper hills so they didn't chew up ourScan284.jpg hills to bad , they would put it in neuteral we would hardly know they were back there.
