What if it Snows?

Lol... Yeah that loader is probably about circa 1990. But considering its pulling roughly 1.7 million pounds it does ok.

 

Switching the KW to e-power? I'll tell Musk to add it to his data base....

 

dang now we need a video to hear that old engine roar and puff that black smoke

 

that parksmart system on freightliner.

 

There used to be a tool to move a car on the loading siding. Cast iron device with a movable inside piece. About an 8 foot big thick cant hook handle.

You set it on the rail up against the car wheel, raised handle and the innards dropped flush. Hooched it in snug, then got three others to help you put weight on the handle downward. Ergo, handle went down, innards were forced up, extreme press exerted between wheel and track the car moved SOME. If on level, you just kept this up till it was where you wanted it or all hands were give out. If downgrade, needed a 4th man to wind up the manual brakes before it left. If on upgrade, you sent for the switch engine to come tomorrow.

 

My question is how do you stop it?

 

"I made the mistake of having them put the inside rims on the outside so I could get them cleaned up.
Corrected copy...

 

And the old GMC... Garage Mans Companion,,,
or Gotta Mechanic Coming...

 

Usually just quit pulling...

 

My Sierra will agree with you on these alternate names.
