Nice photos and thanks for taking the time. A interesting point-that 1954 green 350 Pete cabover was originally owned by Bob Shore, I knew him fairly well. He bought it in 1955, it had a 262 and 4x3 when I knew him, don't know about now, it's passed through a couple of different owners since Bob passed years back. That Pete hauled allot of hay out of Kittitas county and Columbia Basin. Bob was just kind of ornery, wouldn't work Saturdays {SDA}. Never saw him without his old Chain Drive hat {bus drivers hat} had a chain across the bill. Name on the door {Shoreline with a sailboat}. *
Great pics! Haven’t been to Lynden show in years. Fun, small town show! Thanks for sharing!
Sometime in the early/mid '90s Cummins bought out Onan and the L series Onan became the A series Cummins. About the only difference was the color, scratch a new engine and it was Onan green underneath. It wasn't that great of an engine and Cummins dropped it fairly quickly. Years later they came out with another A series, this time built by DaeDong in Korea, which they weren't very proud of either.
I also have not been down for 10 years. went down from 95 to 2003 every year when I was into tractors . were there any Ford tractors Blue and white ones from mid 60's to mid 70's??
The stack on that Pete looks like it ends a little too close to the hay bales! How many loads did he set on fire with heavy hauls on long grades, when the stack was producing some real hot gases? On my old Maxidyne, the end of the exhaust would produce a steady sheet of flame on a long grade at night, as she lugged down to 1300RPM! Seen more than one load of hay catch fire. Errant cigarette butts were the cause of numerous bale fires.
None as far as I know, that's why there's a protective cover behind stack.
thatś too cool you had the backstory on that truck.
Those early Pete cabovers were not as common as one would think. Bob kept it in a shed with doors pulled shut, so about the only time you would see it-he was leaving to go load it. It was at a BC&S diesel repair and my dad was in there lettering doors on a log truck {around 1972}. Anyway I climbed all over it, sat in the drivers seat & checked it out. At that time it was still running the original block and crank. I remember him telling me about running down Oakridge on 58 to I-5 Eugene in winter in the 50's. When the model 20 Jake came on the scene he bought a set. Best money he ever spent he said.
