A Hay-Mac, eh? First one I have seen. Brockway was also owned by Mack, and used F-Model cabs in their cabovers for at least a while, I'm not sure if Brockway ever had a proprietary cab of their own. For the last 2 years of Brockway's meager existence, they also used R-model cabs in their conventional series trucks.

I drove a couple Brockways, and they were the only trucks I ever despised, until I spent more time in later years around Freight Shakers.

I'm pretty much out of Calendars except 2014 which I will post next year . Its my hope that others will post similar posters ,calenders or anything with information on whats happening in your corner of the Pacific Northwest or anywhere's in the world for others who follow this thread live , might learn of an event or place with artifacts and machinery related to the forest industry . The Mclean Mill is a real little jewel you can ride a Steam Train from down town Alberni out to the mill site then watch a working Steam Steam Yarder yard logs and watch a working Steam Saw Mill cut lumber. In closing I'll post a schedule of 2013 events to give you an idea of what they do in a year.

Visited the Sedro-Woolley Museum today. Unfortunately, they were closed, but they had some good outside displays. This one here is the largest donkey they have (and that I have ever seen!). It is a Washington 12x14. Main drum has to be nearly 8 feet tall.

Here is a Washignton Carrriage.




And another Washington Donkey, quite a bit smaller then the first.

Skagit BU-30. Powered by a flathead Ford linked to a 3spd I believe.

Random assortment of blocks, chokers, tree shoes, shackles, etc.

Another Washington donkey. This one is a triple drum, 9x10 1/4.

Last one, Skagit MAC yarder. Powerplant is a Fordson tractor I believe.

I think the one with the big drum is a "incline" donkey, for snubbing, and hoisting

All those pics of "donkeys" reminded me of several I worked with over the years, only most of them were heavy duty mechanics.


Take care.
