Prairie Art, HD7

Alis being loaded onto the trailer, one steering clutch is acting up.

 

The operator on the HD7W is a retired locomotive engineer who at one time had thousands of horse power under his control. Jerry is the main mechanic instrumental in getting this dormant machine once again making smoke.

Had this HD7W gone to the scrap yard it would have set of the radiation detectors, the hands of the engine hour meter have radium on them for night vision.

 

The Kodak video is mind blowing.

It would appear that the image host I've been using has been taken off line, just wanted to give all that the missing image have nothing to do with any actions on my part.

 

While I was on vacation did join another forum, images I've uploaded  from the postimage site via linking where imported into the sites data base which prevented broken image links from disrupting the flow of the forum.

 

I  have my suspicions that post image will not be back online anytime soon.

Welcome back.  :occasion-xmas:  We had a cat when I was on the line gang at the phone company.  Got to play on that for many days...  I think it is the most fun one can have.

After they pulled the truck and trailer free from the ditch I went home. Missed the best part of this movie.

 

After the HD7W was unloaded  they encouraged Greg to take her for a spin, clueless how to steer the machine and its heading for his pick up truck. Without releasing the hand clutch slams the machine into reverse.

 

As the machine travels around the field in reverse Jerry the mechanic is chasing it to climb aboard to release the clutch.

 

The shift fork broke the machine is permanently stuck in reverse.
