Unfortunately I haven't figured that one out yet Hank. I think the plan there will be to do it on a day when my wife is home to help me! It's only fair that she do some of the work right?lol Merry Christmas to you!

Yes, one battery Jim. This truck is hard on batteries though if the ground isn't flat. I would guess that the GVW was easily over 100 pounds at the start so it takes a lot of juice! I hope you have a Merry Xmas and an Island tour in the New Year!

Merry Christmas to all my new friends in the northwest, and to everyone else the very best wishes. Enjoy some family time, and the good food that seems to always appear on the holidays.

Thanks for the info HDX you always come throught with their history. The snow is finally starting to go so that means it's time to get out and about..lol. Decca Industries did all the work on her, check their web site, cool stuff. She is at a good home now, all their trucks are kept mint. Hope these pics work for you

Greatwestcam do you work at Decca?
OK guys here are some action shots of A22. I quite admire Capstan kept the original Mars unit numbers.
Hope you guys enjoy these shots

BC-12valve, nice shots of the old girl working, I was talking to someone from Capstan and they said they didn't use the truck as much as they hope for due to the wide wheel track that is 100", said a 90" track would allow easier highway permitting, or something of that sort.

I recently left the Kenworth dealership after 14 years for different work.

You are correct, A22 is primarily used to pull their 96 wheel lowboy, but like you said with permitting they usually just use their planetary drive Kenworth C550 and a push truck. A22 does work on the bush roads when needed though.

1931 kenworth Is that truck not one of Saunders 850's that went up that way??? I mean the one pictured in the last post

Ferney picked that truck up some years back. It's pictured sitting down at the old Timber West shop at Middle point. It is an ex-Saunders truck. We picked up the 5 that were at Duke point in June of 2013, the day after we barged them to Campbell, WFP sent some guys down to go over the trucks as they were going to make an offer on them. But the trucks were already parked in T-Mars yard as they were about to leave town. I'll post some pictures of the 2 we have hauling right now.

I think the number for this was K63. It was 63 anyways. We call it LT63. This was the other day in McGowan Bay.

I tried to do some miniature logging yesterday. It wasn't very successful... The lowbed driver parked the truck in the way, then left and the skidder operator forgot to fuel up his machine before loading it up.... Truck driver showed up again once the skidder was done for the day though so that was good. At least it all made it back to the shop...

Reg, looking and sounds great. You forgot to chain the skidder on the trailer. Sure is neat to see, thanks for sharing.

I'm late to the party,but here is my contribution. I took this photo summer of 1990 at Hobart Bay, Ak . She is parked on the ready line prepared to go to work. I had just performed a service on her and fixed a few things. At that time, Klukwan Forest Products was in full production. I believe this was an 850, but they also had a number of C500's. Tell me what you think it is.
