Good place for it! I have a neat old M&B propaganda film that shows the Mars in action, but it's on 16mm. film. A real pain setting up the giant projector to copy it.

Sproat lake Challenger H160

Thanks for explaining MB letters trakloader - I knew most of them - I have some pics og a P16 with a huge dump - I think it was numbered #G24 - I have to find pictures and scan them. 3rd pic shows a LLL P16 with an old MB lowbed. Last pic showing #H273 is a P12W and not a P16

Hello Hayesno1!
Have u seen my video of one of the MMB Challengers (H160) in Sproat Lake division? YouTube - Truck loaded by line loader (super snorkel). Do you know anything about a Hayes at Franklin, H16, which is in my other video? By the way, the super snorkel operator in the film is in fact norwegian. And if that wasn't enough (and here comes the clue), working far out from Sarita in a Madill 075 YouTube - Super snorkle is a Dane!

"J" for jarder

Indeed, but "N" for drills, and "E" for cats.... ???? The "X" on trailers is really confusing, as are the "Jarders"... I think welders got a "B" number, too, but I might be mistaken. As for the numbers themselves, we had Y-07, 09, and 09 here, even though Y-09 came 10 years after Y-07. The last two drills were N-32 and N-104, Y-01 was newer than Y-09, Y-03 was the same vintage as Y-34, Y-30 was only a year newer than Y-09.... They must have picked numbers totally at random.

Yeah Trakloader, I also have allways been wondering about the "J" on the MB spars and if it was for "jarder"! Maybe some here at the forum knows!

Yes I have - several times - great videos
I dont know anyting about Hayes #H16 from Franklin. Sproat Lake D. Hayes HDX #H316 to #H321 from 1974 I can add a funny thing. When I took pictures of #H318 (now LLL #T339) I could see #H318 at doors but at top left of water tank it was just #H18 and you could not ad "3" between the H and 18. H160 was a Challenger preloader, but I think it was scrapped after a second accident. Challenger H159 and H165 were normal logging configutation. They were sold to Mars Industries H159 got no. A89 as it was built in 1989 and H165 got no. A94(built 1994). I am not sure who owns those 2 MB Challenger trucks.
Sure it is a small world - grettings from Denmak to all
Maybe some can ad some info about the Hayes H16

If you watch my videos of the 5675 log loader, operated by a fellow they called 'The Black Swede', he was actually from Norway, too.

So are the MacBlo truck pictures from the 2000's now Weyco truck that never got repainted, bought by another company who never repainted, or in the hands of collectors that are keeping them as is??? Just curious because as I understand MacBlo went away in 1999?

Jaylift

This is the old shop crane, called a "Jaylift". It was built by Jacobs Brothers in Vancouver, BC.

Weyco stuck around only long enough to manipulate the Provincial government into removing the private land from the tree farm licenses, then they sold off all the TFL's, and pulled out. They now log the private land as "Island Timberlands". They didn't stay long enough to re-paint any equipment, and the small contractors that took over can't afford paint. Red & white iron will be around for many years to come.
