Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

Almost as much power as a 6V71. Almost as reliable as a 6 volt starting system on a 8N Ford in rainy season. Only reason the military used them is lowest bidder.

 

We bought one and put it in a water truck. One was enough.
That was probably thirty years ago and our mechanic still goes into a rant every time somebody mentions that piece of crap.

 

If it ain't feed its meat..allus sumthin

 

@wore out,get you a set of these & be a big baller sheep hauler.

 

Alright, a 33% chance increase to run over a meat protester !

 

Ole Roscoe Wagner in Double Drip Idaho ran truck and trailers for years hauling cattle. He was also a Wilson dealer. Cabover semis and cabover truck and trailer, all with Detroits as I recall. Wagner trucking might still be going for all I know, but I haven't sen any for a long time.

 

@wore out , IFTA is done!

 

See one once in a while around Twin— they started winding down when Ol Bruce (shop foreman) and a couple of their senior drivers died 6-7 years ago—went past their trailer shop a couple days ago and it’s a ghost town

 

Dang that's almost cooler than a California hay train

 

Still shows up here...
