      Johnathan parked it next to the crane overnight, and the crane told it resistance was futile. Might as well start cause ol Johnathan is gonna make it happen no matter what.

    Jonathan,
    I've got to comment on this one. I used to haul pressed cotton with a 74 model that looked almost exactly like that one. It had a Cat in it that whistled while it worked. It could haul 110 bales of pressed cotton at 80 miles an hour against a head wind and never get out of 13th gear. Thanks for bringing back a great memory.

    1952 was the year I was born. Still going strong, a little dinged up but serviceable. That's when they built good equipment. The age is the testament to the quality.

      @@BrodieBr0 My dad was born Nov 14, 1928. He's still going strong, I'm not so good. He lives alone, and is always working on something. He will be 93 this year. He is always worried about me. Well, my boys and my sister don't seem concerned much. Dad may outlive me, he's the oldest living of his family, but his oldest brother died of appendicitis, which about half his siblings got, but not dad. I always worried that I would get it. Well I did a little over two years ago. It was PAINFUL!

      @BrodieBr0 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@@markeholbrook Sorry to hear you're not doing so good, I hope you get better. I'm happy to hear about your dad though! I've had 3 family members on my dad's side make it over the 100 mark and all of them were like your Dad. Always active and equally important tried to always be happy and positive no matter what life threw at them. Another thing that's often killed men earlier than women is we don't tend to go to the doctor like we should....my dad died at 75 from a stroke. He never once saw a doctor while I was alive...only one hospital visit for breaking his arm on a motorcycle accident. The doctors said If he had regular checkups they would have caught his collapsing artery and put stents in...he'd still be going. His eldest brother is still going strong at 86 and always had regular checkups. He's always smiling and tikering. haha

    • @markeholbrook
      @markeholbrook 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Too bad about your dad, mine didn't go to the doctor much either until he retired, he goes frequently now. I get checkups every 3 months. I'm not in terrible shape, but I have lots of issues. Most of them are deadly. I've had younger and older cousins on both sides of my family die early. I think hard work keeps you healthy. Dad had a few stents put in once, my biggest problem is keeping him off his roof!

    Nice Shaker, I drove a 1987 version of that truck for 6 years from NJ to Fla, to Pa, and back to NJ weekly back in the early 90s pulling doubles. The one I drove was a single axle leased on to Roadway Package System. I drove it for the owner who had 4 trucks leased on to RPS which is now FedEx ground. He also had a tandem axle Mack Ultraliner cabover back then that he drove, it had chrome wheels and other goodies plus the E-9 500 hp Mack Motor. I would sometimes run southbound from NJ with him but not for long. The Shaker had a 310 hp Cat and he would blow my doors off, to say the least. But hey, at least he did replace the mattress with a really comfortable one. Seeing that old Shaker you bought brings back memories, ahhhh to be young and dumb.

    Looks like a Big Cam 855, 300-400 HP. Those are some great engines that many have got close to a million miles out of before a rebuild. I put my BC in a nine line bind many times and it never let me down if I changed fuel filters at a reasonable interval. Buy a Spinner II auxiliary oil filter and you'll hardly ever even need to change the oil (UPS installs them on everything that they run).

    So cool. My dad drove a Cabover Freightliner, that one reminds me so much of him. Its good to see an old school truck like that coming down the road. You really don't see them like that anymore. And you are right, safety is first when driving any vehicle. I look forward to your next video. Keep up the great work.

    Amazing that a 52 trailer is still road worthy.

    Sounds like a very good purchase especially starting right up and no smoke after 16 years. Old iron is often the best. Painted wheels are just fine!

    Sweet Freightliner, little bit of love and you can start hauling freight. That's a nice truck, I always liked the look of the COEs.
    Best regards from Indiana.

    I'm always amazed at how those old engines can fire right up. Good luck with it. It'll be a good truck to have in your business.
