I’ll make a comment here. My name is Marty, the video from Backyard Barnfinds was shot by me and Parker edited and posted it to his channel. As with the other videos, people focus on the trailer and the decision to leave it. Obviously this was not a quick decision, but the trucks location in NYC made it for us. The permit cost wasn’t an issue, but the trailers physical size is. The trailer is 80ish feet long and 14-15 feet wide. Moving something so long and wide in 1 piece through Queens and Brooklyn is pretty much impossible. The only way it would’ve been able to leave is either cutting it up, or paying huge money to barge it off the island it’s sitting on. And once it’s at Gary’s, which by the way, this video got the collections name and information completely wrong, something still has to be done with it. It takes up a lot of space even in a collection of 100+ antique Mack’s. The Mahan foundation is dedicated to preserving trucking history, but Gary is a Mack Collector first and foremost and that trailer isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things. If you’re interested in this sort of thing visit Parker’s channel and enjoy the two videos I shot actually moving the truck to NJ.

It looks like only super short people could fit into this truck, and I am quite tall, 6' 7" or 201 centimeters.

That machine would have feared better if it was sold in Australia because their mines are absolutely enormous compared ones in the states

Very Familiar with LeTourneau here in Canada. Worked for Wajax who was Canada wide dealer before P&H / Komatsu scooped it all up. Excellent equipment way ahead on the technology in most instances. One of the great advantages in the past was that LeTourneau made it's own steel in Longview. All electric motors, electronic circuit boards, planetaries (Drivers as Le Tourneau personnel called them) Structural steel, forged pivot balls, castings and gearing was all mostly manufactured in house in Longview. In old days LeTourneau could not always get tire manufactures to keep up in the size of their tires for the equipment he was designing. RG went out and built his own molds and made his own tires for many years. The "land train" was also adapted to Snow Train in Northern Canadian Arctic. Maintained and supplied the DEW line early waring system. Las time I was in Fairbanks the main power unit was still in the bush outside of town somewhere. Anyone seen it? Anyways great Video.

I saw a brand knew one on a truck in Western Australia 45 years ago (1979). Had the Cummins engine and was badged DRMCO. (Dominion Road Machinery Company). It would be great to know where they all are today.

Hi, BenTreasure-gu7gi. As I understand it, the one that went to Western Australia, I think to Mount Newman, worked for a while but the unions eventually 'speared' its use 'coz they reckoned it "put too many people out of work". I don't know where it went after that. I am also fairly sure that ti was the only one to come DowNunda. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day Best wishes. Deas Plant.

This being a video about old school American Mack trucks, we measure torque in foot pounds, speed in miles per hour, thank you. Surprised you didn't quote the engine output in watts.

S. Pennock and Sons was founded in 1878 not 1978(1:24.) You might want your research team to dig deeper than small snippets online. Go to the library in Kennett Square or to a State University in Pennsylvania to source the documented history of the tremendous amount of engineering companies from that great state.
