Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Had a bit of Deja Vu today. Went to pick up an old cat crawler loader. When I say old, I mean @truckdad probably used one as a teething ring.... Well after loading it on the trailer and seeing the condition of the tracks and started to ask questions to my buddy that just sold it.... It was the same machine I hauled to it's new owner the first time I laid eyes on it. In less than a year, it is on it's third owner and still running good. I have now moved it to 2 of the three new owners.

Here is the photo from the summer....

And here it is today!

 

@cnsper, Hey, I'm not THAT old! But it does look like me and the trackloader both need some work. What is that, a 943? or 931?

 

LOL just bustin your chops. I know you love old machinery though.

I was told it was a 955. I have no clue. Should have seen me trying to move it the first time. The bucket dump is backwards to me. Push forward to curl and pull back to dump. I think they have the hoses backwards. It is electric start though so probably late 50's early 60's for the age of the machine.

This looks very similar

 

The hoses are right, all the ones I hauled were the same.

 

Yeah that's the way they were, if you had to switch between it and a wheel loader it messed with you.

 

Even I have to haul flat bed stuff.

 

Kansas bound

 

Scaled at 63,470 kg gross, or ~139,600 lbs. hopefully she doesn't pick up any moisture during the trip!



(Ignore the still dirty tractor)

 

Overnight run of drywall.

 

Yes you only see one strap. I was not taking it off until the crane was hooked up and they were done on the ladder.
