Chelsea manufactured PTO equipment. In this case to drive a hydraulic pump to operate the dump body and also in this case to operate the plow attachments.
What a difference between now & then. Drove a Western Star plow with all the goodies this past winter. Truck was an automatic, electric mirrors, sirus radio along with 2 way, joy stick to operate blow, wing, sand/salt spreader, dump box, tail gate
Thanks for watching, John! This truck had a couple features I had never seen before. Wish I could find some pictures of it in action. I don't think it has run in at least 20 years!
@@AntiqueCarsRCool thanks for the reply . I shared this with my girlfriend that is a retired teacher from n Maine. Hope all is well with your family and friends ☮️❤️
That clock/speedometer is a "tachograph". You turned the key and opened it and put a round wax paper disk in it and closed it. The disk would go around like a clock and the speedometer needle would make a mark on the disc, like a record player. The disk would have a record of when and how fast the vehicle was driven. They could be also used for a court record. If anyone accused him of doing anything questionable the tachograph would show what he was doing at any particular time. I ran those in the Mack trucks I drove for UPS back in the 70's.
Yes, that’s a Wagner SANGAMO Tachograph, an analogue data recorder made in the 1940s in Springfield, Illinois, USA. In Europe the tachographs were made by companies like VDO Kienzle, Yazaki Kienzle, ARGO Kienzle, Stoneridge / Veeder-Root, ACTIA MERA-POLTIC, etc., with the german VDO Kienzle in the lead, have been manufacturing tachographs since the ‘30s -‘40 too and are still mandatory in all commercial vehicles in Europe to this day, though since the 2000s the recorders are digital, no longer using paper diagrams, are shaped different and no longer placed on the instrument panel in the place of the speedometer.
That's neat Luke. That little door would let him get a shovel full of dirt without having to dump the load, so that when he got stuck on an icy spot he could throw shovels full of dirt under the tires to get her moving again.
I actually mis spoke. It's in fact a device to keep track of how fast the driver was going at certain times. See rpeek's comment below. I didn't mean to spread misinformation! Haha. My dad actually knew the guy who owned it and ran it for the state.
I think the sound and the smile are about equal haha! Good to hear from you my friend! I've seen your comments a time or two on my videos. Glad you're still enjoying this one. I'll be posting more soon! Have a good night :)
Jeez, that was hard to watch - use the clutch brake, and educate yourself on how to operate it. Luckily, these models are built to withstand the kind of abuse you're throwing at it
A good worker once the problems are adjusted out of existance. D6 will get a lot of work done quickly. Quite a neat model that particular example with the name proudly displayed on it everywhere. Always drivetrain and very rarely an engine in these earlier builds. Unless it's that petrol motor.
@@AntiqueCarsRCool No shit!? I refer to the pony motor by saying the petrol one therefore. Get it Sherlock? Well if you don't get it try this next statement? I KNOW!
