Hey Guys!

New to the forum and love it. Lots of information and a pile of nice trucks and equipment out there!

Here is my little toy at work..

2005 International Workstar 7500 with the HT570 International 9.3L motor. It has a 13 speed tranny, 20,000 lbs front, 20,000 lbs air lift and 40,000 lbs rears. The truck was originally spec'd out as a little tandem and then the first owner added a Hendrickson Air lift to it with a 17.5 foot G&F Excavation boss.

Truck has 81,000 KM on it, a few hours under 4,000 on the hour meter and it's very clean inside and out.

It is somewhat dirty in this first picture. Had to go to the Quarry for a few loads but usually she's all shined up at the end of the week

We just picked this up recently so I still have to make it my own. First thing I'd like to do is add dual 5" straight pipes to it(muffler is in between frame rails). I am also going to get the side windows tinted to 30% but we've been too busy to get it done.

Here is the coolest backhoe in town in the second picture. Notice the chrome stack and chrome lug nuts!5977547688_69de03f231_z.jpg5977546194_9095cea652_z.jpg5977549134_a714da9fd9_z.jpg

Hi welcome to the forum.
That is a nice truck. I think it would look great with dual 5" straight pipes !
That backhoe is a nice too.

I am looking for a chart or Placard for my wheel loaders that indicate lube points.
According to out CAT rep, these are no longer available.
Does anyone know how or where I could get Placards for ALL equipment?
Ex -Looking for a top view of a loader with arrows that point to all grease locations...

Update on the truck..We've owned it for two weeks now and it's been at the International Dealer for the past week. It dropped a pushrod and spun the lifters and wrecked the cam! All with 80,653 KM on it!

So I have done a few things to the truck since getting it back from the dealer. Installed a JVC deck with bluetooth, USB and Aux inputs and also an 8" Bassworks sub to have some bass with the tunes. Also tinted the windows to 35% to cope with the heat while being loaded for hours on end(curb and sidewalk jobs and so on..)

Here is a pic of it with the tinted windows at one of the local quarries waiting to be loaded with 3/4" stone!
