Overload of the Day

”but this is how we always done it, never had a problem before”

Man have heard that A LOT over the years, until I do something have always done and get told IS WRONG yet they do exactly the same.

^ I always say it works till it doesn't.

Did anyone notice that they changed out the trailer on the carry crane in the last pic?

 

[DMiller]

Thought was different, was too busy Laughing to see clearly

That first carry crane trailer looked like about a 7000# GWR,the second trailer looks like a 12000# GWR.It still might be a bit lite for the load.

 

[cfherrman]

Yeah the first trailer needed more air in the tires

I kept watching that. My guess is all the drivelines are in the dump truck bed.

Intermediate shafts were removed, except for the dump. Too hard to get to with Hendrickson
suspension so front input was removed. I know a guy that drove for Dallas Mavis, he had a
a stack of new RL Macks come loose on Donner Pass years ago, totaled three all at once.
The axle saddle on the pull tractor broke. That's back when RL's were still built in California.

Appears a Six up front, a Seven on the back. JUST a shade heavy. Around 80/85 ON the trailer!!

I live on a very steep hill in CT same road as Richie Brothers auctions. The equipment being towed with “professional haulers” is sickening.
I see plenty of 4500/450 5500/550 gooseneck with now 30-40ft trailers towing WAY more than they should. Now I’m seeing 2500/250 pickups with airbags and goosenecks and same thing. Drivers don’t speak English. And they either get to my driveway and breakdown or the other way and are broke down all with plates from 1/2 a country away. Amazing what qualifies for “under CDL.”

I need to find my photos of our Oshkosh/Goldhofer setups from Angola back in the day. They were used for moving everything but the motor scrapers from our topsoil removal fleets fleets.

Those boys would regularly put two D9G/H tractors on one trailer, although to be fair they only had cushion blades and push blocks rather than full-size blades and rippers. Then they wondered why they had so many tyre problems.....!!

I believe those are both 7’s. D7E’s, the air cleaner is the giveaway

 

[Bluox]

My WAG one D8 & one D9.

That poor clutch in that old truck

 

[DMiller]

Just pick a lower hole

 

[Syleng1]

Lol! Now a days 650hp and double ceramic disk clutches are the norm. Back then you were lucky to have 250 HP and a couple of back to back 4 speeds and a single dish clutch. Those boys got it done. Terrain also helps. Driving across flat ground is way easier then lugging up hillside fully loaded.

Just pick a lower hole

Last time I did that she hit me

 

[56wrench]

My guess on the dozers is: a d7(4 cyl eng) and a d8(6 cyl) probably each a high horse by the air cleaners
