Gordy I M & M Kilbella Bay Gordy I moving logs to the roadside with a Cat 235 Excavator before " Thumbs " were popular on excavators and before " Hoe Chucking " was perfected . Dan Malloch on Koehing loader and Gordy Isacson on Cat 235 Excavator throwing logs to road . They were getting 6 Off Highway loads a day on P-16 Pacific log trucks with 15 ft. bunks and 8 ft stakes.

Thanks Hayesno1 I didn't know Bill Malloch personally, but I remember as a kid, Malloch & Moseley were the outfit to work for if you were in the Sooke Langford area . I guess they favoured International products, I remember Bill Malloch had a Jeep Wagoneer and Dez Moseley had an International Scout , their Woodsforman Ron Renshaw had an International pickup with a bush box , they were all done up pretty trick for those days. Bill Malloch had a lot of jam and when he got the chance , he went for the top. I would like to use this thread to celebrate the good years of the " Big M " . I'm hoping to change the thread name to Rivers Inlet and other Malloch & Moseley operations. If you have M & M pictures post them hear , If you have pictures ,but don't have time to scan them , get them to me , I'd be more than happy to post them on this thread.
