Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

I can haul them - used could - but they are all evil and should be buried exactly where found.

Plus they won’t pay my rate - so F’em

 

That’s the front half of a slag pot tractor. I think.

 

I think you are correct

 

Ah, 10-4.

 

#### that old boy is still there? That setup was parked in the same spot when I went by last Tuesday.

 

Still there as of yesterday.

 

On the topic of slag pot carriers. Kress is the brand, Illinois made — west of Peoria.

Here’s some photos — their ‘coal hauler’ on a trailer. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the driver but he split from Keen after a few years but continued to haul for Kress.

 

I’d have to do some digging because I can’t remember the guys name either, but if it is who I think it is, he has run that extended hood A model for years. 700 whp KTA in it, and he and his wife do all the work on it themselves. Including converting it from torsion bar rear suspension to air ride.

 

Kinda embarrassing posting my little stuff, but I have to make you guys think I work once in awhile.

Stopped to pick up deviled eggs and a sweet tea at the Picabo store on the way home.
