My daily driver...1978 KW W900A. I jump in it and go anywhere, all the time. One day I'm moving a 525 Cat grapple skidder up into a logging job in northern Maine, couple days later I'm in NC. Then Illinois, then Virginia. I move all equipment within my limits for everyone from a DIY'er to a homeowner, to contractors, dealers, auctions, etc. 40+ years in the field, and still enjoying it every day.
I put this truck on the road in April of 2015, fresh off of a 4 month restoration stem to stern. Over the past several years I've upgraded a LOT of things including going from the original 3406A PCTA 375 HP motor, to a used 3406B 400++ that I totally rebuilt a couple years ago. I put a brand new 18918B 18 speed in 2 years ago, and went from 4:33's to 3:90 Eaton gears. Has KW 8 bag air ride. I've got her dialed in beautifully now.
Ran the first year with that 375 horse Cat, and no power steering and no a/c. I'm old school but not quite that old school...so I put power steering in it the second year, and swapped motors and all the driveline to make it a pleasurable experience. Also added a Vintage Air a/c system that cools/heats nicely. I big holed the cab and bunk with a Peterbilt Unibilt opening, so I have ample leg room and can recline the seats into the mattress.
Monday morning on my birthday, instead of eating cake, I'll be moving a 525 Cat skidder from NH to MA, then shoot over by Delhi, NY to get a Ford 555D TLB going to central MA, then load a new Peterbilt truck on and carry that to Hinkley, Ill. From there a JLG telehandler, and stop in Michigan to throw a military truck on along with it...and head east. Never a dull moment.
It's nice to be able to say I still enjoy what I do, after over 40 years of it. Been an interesting ride for sure.
