Kenworth Thread for 848--849--850

[dieselfreak]

In today's logging industry cost savings takes over riding priority, yes the series 60 is different in the sense that the torque is gained on the bottom end of the RPM ratio. More importantly fuel savings is huge. When a company is taking on a trucker, whether it be fuel provided or fuel supplied, the cost can make or break the deal. I have dealt with one series 60 and numerous Cummins ISX's and can say that the difference between mechanical and electronic engines is what gives truckers the leading edge in today's market. Gone are the days of naming your price. Competitive is the tomorrow we work in. Furthermore, to drive a 4 stroke engine opposed to a classic 2 stroke is like taking a stock vehicle and adding nitrous.

A note on H-05, it is in Port McNeill again. Made a short stint back in service and was in an accident. Also, trux I'm still amazed that DY-17 is still in service with that turbo 12V houred out grapple yarder engine. A red cummins would look better under the hood of that beast.

there is no doubt in my mind

Took a cruise up to the Menzies Bay shop today, the 2258 (H-05) was in the yard.

Looks really good. The guys up in McNiel did a nice job.:notworthy

Did many a reline on that old girl, looks better now then it did then

^^^ I'd love to have that old F-250 pickup. Looks like a '65 or '66 from here, maybe a year or two earlier at most.

Not bad, the pic was taken in 1967

 

[075]

Holberg or Port mcNeill ?

 

[30 B]

Wouldn't it be easier to load the truck with the shovel instead of laying it on its side and pushing the logs into the bunks ?

 

[wornout wrench]

Might be easier, but no where near as much fun.
Great pictures, been there waaaaayyyyy to many times.
One thing about those old girls, pick them up, wipe em off and send them back to work.
Try that with a hiway truck

Trux; Great pics. Keep them coming! The old M&B truck I have seen several times, but I have only been able to read "H3?" at top of left tank. See pictres taken in 2005 and 2006. Maybe 72HDX can add some information.
