I pulled a Peerless with mechanical neck and the old bed did a pretty good job but when we upgraded to a new trailer with a hydraulic neck that was the end of the crash & bang as well as related driveline stress, it was a costly upgrade though.
When you were loading the dozer toward the start of the video, I think I saw an old White water tank truck. I've always thought those were some of the best looking trucks. Too bad we rarely see them restored. That tall narrow front grill was sure good looking. Many had the cast-iron wheels with fancy cast aluminum hub caps, or chrome hub caps. I hope the example you had came to a good end. Love the Vids!!
I used to use custom ramps for the dolly. Back up the scraper on the dolly first, chain it down, then load on the jeep. To unload, unchain the head, unload from the jeep, back up a ways, unchain the jeep, use the ramps and drive forward off the dolly. The dolly ramps were aluminum. With a good swamper, from pulling up to the job, knocking off the dirt, removing apron bar, push block pin, load and drive away would usually take 45 minutes. We used the same ramps for the jeep and dolly ( just drag them a little).
push pull won't load on the jeep if the ass is on the dolly, it won't clear the push plate. we bought some murray long ramps and there like half the weight of the ones in this video, we've got in down to about 30 minutes to load with out removing the the apron bar or push block pin, question: why remove the apron rod?
LOVE THE A MODEL!!!! I am not A trucker but Cali stly heavy haul is the high light of my day when i see it! My buddies up north are log truckers n move iron n the hyd necks n lotsa axles is cool but the Cozad expando and trailer companies the copy it are SO COOL looking . Plus ive watched guys unload/unhook as fast or faster than hydros.. Great stuff just found your channel n bout to see if theres more of that ol 1693 I can listen too on my Bose!!!!
@jpaydirt sorry about the typo. I ment Murray has the line on RGN trailers. Murray's ramps are superior to the others. They sell the kit you can install yourself or have them do it. I notice back east they use mostly hydralic set ups. Most the guys I know, myself included try to load over the back when ever we can. That is a nice trailer you have.
@gangesexcavating Murray has line on ramps/ roller neck trailers. Suprisingly breakage on these set ups are very minimal . The only time I've ever had a problem stabbing a trailer is on really soft ground. Out here in Ca we try to load as much as possable over the rear of the trailer.
🤣😂 I used to do Heavy Haul. And I can SOOO relate !!! A Royal pain in the ass to get up under those big ass loads. Good job Sir ! High, Wide and Heavy, right ? Still makes my sticker peck out...😄
Hauled more of the 637,s with pulling the rear axles and trailing the back than ever did with a dollies. Same with 631,s, 641,s and 651,s . Simpler in the old days
Its surprising how well the little ramps hold up on the scraper jump trailer, it seems like they would bend given the heavy load they support when loading a 637.
Why does the driver have to ram the trailer to lock the fifth wheel to the jeep. Would it be easier to add hydraulics legs to the trailer so that kind of violent co nection does not have to occur. The potential for damage to equipment can and will occur.
That's pretty cool (and simple) how you got the scraper of the rear dolly of the white trailer. Is that an old trick for loading them, or something you came up with on the fly?
That's a real nice set-up, It's hard to beat a 637C. I'll bet you can move some serious dirt with it. If you ever need spare parts for one, let me know, I have a few available.
I've got mech neck set up like cozad and love it but you have to have low reverse gears. Ten speed is not good lowboy trans. Need 2spd rears or 4 spd brownie behind it. But no hyd to maintain and these trailers have the best load to weight ratio.
If you slide those blocks under the back of the jeep before driving it off, you'll save the trailer neck. The only reason I know is because I used to be a welder fabricator on lowboys before I started hauling.
Smart design..to bad one can't be made to haul larger RT cherry picker cranes 50 ton plus.Use crane as trailer. Just had my gmk 5120b grove shipped on 120 ft 180k load to Canada ...guy pulled it with DD series 60 365hp...NP.
no reason to hit that trailer so hard backing into it. put a 2" block under the trailer before you disconnect and you won't have to slam it around like that. Glad that isn't my equipment.
+Eric Johnson Have you ever operated a Murray with the metal on metal ramps, they suck. I believe thats why they got rid of them, I have the kit to change the lower ramps over to a roller set up, but I will have to close the jeep to make it work, I have tried the block method but when you place 50 ton directly on it , it will usually just smash into the ground, so when loading in a really bad traction area I sometimes have to back under as far as I can and then block up and hope it doesn't sink back into the ground and then take another stab at it, a power tower would be even better, I had a trucking buddy who pulled this trailer all over the U.S. and he had many years experiance with this type of Lowboy, And he didn't like it either, He's gone to Heavy Haul Heaven now, but the one thing I learned from him was this, "Nobody like's a cry baby" so I just use what I've got and deal with it ☻
+jpaydirt yes I have operated numerous Murray trailers and that is one thing I do not like about their early design. I never like watching guys back into them like that though. Watched a guy load a 637 on one and couldn't get back under it. slammed into it at what seemed like 20 mph and it slid off the ramps. Not sure how much that mess cost him but it was ugly ugly damage. I built 14x14 pads I would set mine down on. Very rare that they sank in the ground and that 3" of pad made the world of difference.
+jpaydirt I used 4 2x4s and sandwiched them in marine grade plywood. I used them for all kinds of things. They were very handy to have. I always carried 8-10 of them on my trailer.
This was before you got the rear jeep. Kinda hard on the fifth wheel, shoving it on so hard. Despite the grease, still heavy. Ever check for cracks? Well I guess you did what you had to do.
Rackley trailer custom built the dollies for the space shuttle endeavor move hauled by Patterson heavy haul also it is the same setup that the Toyota commercial used where the tundra is towing the space shuttle
Not too sure on any patents think there is history between all those names supposedly Murry had originally had round holes on their trailers ernie sibert had it out with one of the cozads started sibert trailers and so on they all have similar designs but Murray trailers were building for themselves before they became for sale basically giving the idea away for free . I learned on a 8ft sibert narrow neck and now I pull a Murray wide neck professional 16 tire expando 8.5 foot I hated it at first breaking down but I'm far from a pro hauler but I've grown to like it a bit every load is different as of now rackley is busy as hell and the others don't seem to be as busy I do like their designs and modern ideas
Why the twin stacks? 1693 was in line 6. Even T's and TA's only had one stack. Our Autocar DC series ran 1693T's except for one we upgraded in shop to TA. While the 1693's ran RT125-10' with a 3 and over auxiliary, the one we upgraded had a RT125-13 in front of the 3 and over. All were equipped with Spicer Power Towers and Bradden 60T winches. One of the job site haulers used 1700 Series Spicer u-joints and we did have a lot of problems with drive shafts. However, that problem was solved when I caught the driver killing the engine and setting the park brakes with the truck in gear while the truck was still moving. He was fired a few days later. The other trucks used 1810 Spicer joints and we had no problem with their drive shafts. I do wonder why your truck is equipped with SQ 100's. Seems quite a bit light. All the Autocars had either SSHD or SQHD axles.
Well, you are indeed right about that. My heavy equipment days are from the mid 70's. We had some serious HD trucks. The driver of the 1693 TA passed me at 90 mph with a gross weight load of 120K. The heaviest (that I know of) we sent out grossed 160K. Permits? We didn't need no stinkin' permits. Actually, we moved so many permit loads that the dispatcher called the state as the truck was leaving the yard!
The front portion that connects to the tractor... Is that considered a jeep still or is there a specific name for it? I haven't seen any videos with this type of split trailer before, just the usual lowboy stuff.
At the beginning why do you need to slam into the pin to get it to the fifth wheel? And props to that driver speeding back into that what 2in piece of metal
MultiMonster69 They have to do that to get under the neck of the trailer. Picking all of the weight at the same time. Otherwise they would spin tires. The new style of trailers no longer need that because of RGN (Removable goose neck) trailer types.
copperheadmarine I would get 2 mpg. loaded, Stock setting is 425 HP that would put the boost gauge at 21 psi so I opened it up and it ran 30 psi boost, each pound of boost should make 20 HP (the rear tires didn't like it) or the 12513 behind it and the drive shaft gave out three times, come to think of it the transfer gears in the SQ 100's were so scared their teeth fell off twice!
+copperheadmarine The 1693 Cat was available at 325hp and was turbo only. The 1694 was turbo and intercooler at 375 and 425hp. The 1693 was way better engine than a 335 Cummins - better pull on the hills and fuel mileage for the time I had it but wrecked in in March 1973. Then I got a 1694 425 hp and it was even a bigger Horse. It would smoke a 400 Cummins in the hills and and stay right with the KT450 Cummins. I add Centrifical oil filter and took off the Luberfiner after I saw one cut open and it was filled with saw dust. The Centrifical was driving with air pressure and would spin the dirt and carbon out of the oil. The canister had a paper liner in it and when the canister would not get hot it was time to change the filter. Nobody would have made me believe what was in that oil until I say it with my own eyes. I got 700k out of the engine and the dealer over hauled it before they sold it to the next guy. GREAT ENGINE made even better by that oil filter system.
1693 cat..well , now there's a bulletproof engine- it was literally lifted out of a bulldozer and put in trucks ...bulletproof- the ONLY machine to touch it would.be a 12cyl DD....or.MAYBE.a.12 yamaha....which is a piece of shit as far as durability...these motors are good for 300-350,000 miles- check with my bud jim herriot- he's actually raced his kw with this.motor- he always pulls my leg ; ' man u supposed to be a master.mega -chanic boy...come down to the track and help me...more like him.helping me...mans a god dayum mechanical genius- SELF TAUGHT!!!
This is used in the western US quite a bit, I will gross 135,000 lbs this way, if I put it on the big trailer I'll be another 30K plus heavier, what's the light weight of a (Float) down under
A Prime Mover and Low Loader Combination with a maximum length of 25 metres, a maximum width 3.5 metres, a maximum height of 4.9 metres and a Gross Combination Mass up to 59.5 tonnes is allowable in Australia. A 637 scraper weighs about 32 tonnes unloaded, so a combined weight of Prime Mover and Low Loader and Dolly arrangement of about 25 tonnes.
@Moo01100 where did you get the idea a 637 weighs 32 ton. A c that's got push pull and the bowl lined comes in around 105, 000 pounds any day of the week
+Wesley Cooper Not on a Caterpillar scraper, it will just follow along, on a Wabco with hydraulic steer you had to connect a small hose from cylinder to cylinder via a jic port built into the cylinders, I don't know about Terex or any others
1983359 You know I was kind of disappointed at how much the mirrors on the B shook and distorted your view, I also think the side visibility on the A is better because of the narrower cab, the B does have a lot more creature comforts thought
Jeff instead of all that rammy trucking BS why wouldn't you just go to a winch tractor like we have up here and pull yourself together in a controlled fashion. A mighty PTO Braden or Tulsa winch would work wonders. That looks like something will break, and it would be expensive.
What a difficult trailer.....is there a reason for this?.....there are no other detachable trailers of same capacity....that looks like a pain in the ass and I wonder if you destroyed any rear tires on misses
like I always say with my kw or pete with this kinda load " its not a mack or a volvo or a pete" its an mp 50 a cummins or a.700hp- as.long as.we.realize.the cab and tractor are.just dressing for the engine/ like.a.man- he can have a brooks brothers.suit ( mack volvo.or.pete) but the man inside.the suit ( mack mp50 cummins or volvo 700)that MAKES.THE.DEAL ON WALL ST. and...MAKEs THE.MONEY
that is f--king AMAZING- THE SCALE.OF WHAT U WERE TRANSPORTING- I have hauled BIIIIG...butbNOT GiGA+atlaNTIC LIkE THIS ...yet..dammm. got to go...if u loke old classic trucks brother-please check out rileydogs.site- has a.beootiful '59 cannonball gmc with a 6v71....copy.partner? tell em scott sent.ya brother. now u take carand god bless..hear?
Am I the only one who's smile got bigger as the turbo spooled more and more lol .. Gotta love turbo whistle
Thanks Dude for the Memory.
Love the big IRON
I DO !! love that new setup for haulin the scraper
I pulled a Peerless with mechanical neck and the old bed did a pretty good job but when we upgraded to a new trailer with a hydraulic neck that was the end of the crash & bang as well as related driveline stress, it was a costly upgrade though.
costly but worth every penny! so much could go wrong smashing into the neck like that lol

I envy you guys because you have NERVES OF STEEL both in loading and unloading this behemoth!
It’s really not that hard at all bud
I learned to drive 20+ years ago in a 1693 powered lnghood Kw w/ 6x4 pulling a 16 wheel Murray .....
That's how it's done!!!!!
Why does the driver have to ram the trailer to lock the fifth wheel to the jeep. Would it be easier to add hydraulics legs to the trailer so that kind of violent co nection does not have to occur. The potential for damage to equipment can and will occur.
Nice that that thing has breaks most I load and unload although they are 615 and 623 do not have breaks. Luck and skill to get those off my lowboy
That's pretty cool (and simple) how you got the scraper of the rear dolly of the white trailer. Is that an old trick for loading them, or something you came up with on the fly?
Awesome vid man......20 thumbs up.
That’s why I like a hydraulic neck rgn

California built lowbed trailers the only way to go !!! Rackley,murray,cozad in that order

Google rackley built trailers Stockton CA they are top dog
Rackley trailer custom built the dollies for the space shuttle endeavor move hauled by Patterson heavy haul also it is the same setup that the Toyota commercial used where the tundra is towing the space shuttle

Always wondering why these trailers don't have winches on them,and just pull the trailer up,instead of abusing the truck.
Man I'd miss that old KW.
Make a video of your 1693 they are so hard to find!
The end was cool with the push/pull . Do they still manufacture these ? Seems they just opened a new Cat Plant here in Georgia (US)
mike8989ful Oh yea they still make them, just not old ones like mine
Man a big horse we call it on the farm, but i been their done that so watch and ask questions,
What ever happen to your old truck ? I know the engine went out and you were gonna rebuild the truck
The front portion that connects to the tractor... Is that considered a jeep still or is there a specific name for it? I haven't seen any videos with this type of split trailer before, just the usual lowboy stuff.
It's called a Jeep/Dolly so yes the front trailer is the jeep and the rear one is the dolly
At the beginning why do you need to slam into the pin to get it to the fifth wheel? And props to that driver speeding back into that what 2in piece of metal

How was the king pin not snapping?! Lol.
How many horse was the 1693? and what king of MPG's would it get?

They make winches. But that would make sense.
Man those American float trailers are weird . Why don’t they just have ramps ? Seems to invite damage backing up under it at that speed .

You want nerves of steel? Load a CAT 623 on a Trail King detach.... you have to drive up on the deck backwards. (Hint....you can't see anything!!
Pesado.
Interesting way to off-load a scraper, but in Australia that wouldn't be allowed on the road and the Work Safety guys would bust your balls.

No, is that an issue
Jpaydirt ive seen it happen wheb dudes back onto docks really hard and i thought if you hit that 5th wheel hard enough it could hurt the tranmission
great design indeed , to abuse your tractor, and get you stuck on rail tracks...
Well 10-4 there driver, what do you use?
65 ton talbert hydro neck 8-10 axle set up depending on machine, all done 95% in chicago and surunding suburbs
Chris Marc what company you work in Chicago?
international
Do you have to do anything to the steering system on the scraper so it'll articulate in turns?
+Wesley Cooper Not on a Caterpillar scraper, it will just follow along, on a Wabco with hydraulic steer you had to connect a small hose from cylinder to cylinder via a jic port built into the cylinders, I don't know about Terex or any others
If you ever miss i bet you can do some real damage to something
How often do those fifth wheels fail safety
what do you mean
Too bad the A Model is not still running. B's are better trucks but they just do not have the looks of an A.
