Fishfiles 20,145 Posted October 21, 2022 In the second video ^^^^ , there was a small convertible looking thing with a fat guy driving at 4:35 , when it blew it looked like he got lifted up in the air and the steering wheel got blown off in his hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted October 21, 2022 Yeah...... I wondered what that was, i recon the jolt was enough to unlock that steering wheel spline shaft coupling ..... I heard there was a guy track attendant (possibly the flag man) killed at the Louisville Farm show expo ..... When an engine poped, something from the guts of the engine struck him in the head...... That's all William Toombs (toombs brothers dairy) told me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted November 11, 2022 Sure sounded like an auto..... The engine ? Never heard one that sounded like that.... Kinda sounded like the lope some train diesels make def not an old school detriot...... Maybe a 600 cummins ? I've never seen or heard on of those, but my old friend Gus said the pistons are massive... Over 1000 CID plant... And last i heard cat doesn't put diesels in road tractors any longer because of some type of goverment intrusion ..... Nd that figures.... Burns me up for those balless bone heads to put a foot on the cat corporation .. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this ship with Airbus on board written on the side heading in from the Gulf going to Mobile. Did some Googling and found out one a month brings a boatload of airplane parts for final assembly in Mobile. They build Airbus A320 airliners there for the US market. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see rounded bottom trailer beds used with trucks for moving demolition concrete rubble , the round bottom lets the load slide out easier and not get hung up from what they say 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
