Finally getting around to uploading a video of running the 825c. This video is of my daughter and I moving our last load of cattle to their spring pasture in tonasket, Washington . My daughter took the video and didn’t really know what to film, so be kind haha

@@jordanlesamiz4599 Maybe, but mine don't go back quite as far as 1949. my earliest was the W model, naturally aspirated Cat B, & Spicer box. Flash too in its day, with an add on crawl in sleeper box at a time when most still slept over the wheel. Its hot here, very, very hot, so I mostly slept in a swag (bedroll) under the lead trailer, cool water in a canvas bag hung on the bullbar. No propane either, so I carried cook wood for the desert roped on over the dolly drawbar. Long range fuel in 44 gal. drums over the drives. There wasn't much, sometimes not even a road at the end of the dirt. That can still be the case though, if you are servicing drillers, who are always the first in. BTW something that never fails to bug me now is seeing people reving out in the crawl gears, before shifting up on roadranger boxes, it just puts a ton of strain & needless wear on the entire drive train. I was looking at late 1800s US historical photographs of frontier towns just the other day, & contrasting that with their modern equivalent made the shocking discovery that by a very long stretch, the son of a boy in those photos may still be alive today. Only just, but certainly many a grandson could be. A channel that you might like, with interviews & film footage of the oldies, loggers, fishermen, farmers etc. is Gary Kerr.

No ac and today drivers think they have it hard being a driver.... lol lol and yet we did more than drive.. we also had to help load or unload your frt... on most places.. drums bags whatever it was half was floor loaded anyways.... we were smarter and more physically in shape than today's cdl holders with a medical card... claiming to pass a physical.. when only thing they really want is 140 over 90... dont matter if you 250 or 300 lbs take your pills get to that number and you pass a physical.. sad but true.. I say that cause I started before cdls.. and even when I was young I rememebr drivers pulling into diners for lunch have a sandwich and a beer or 2 and hit the road... no placards back than.. nothing just hard but easy times...and prob made just as much today or a little more by comparison....

The first tractor assigned to me 30 years ago was a GMC Brigadier with no air ride seat, no A/C, no power steering, and I ran lower Manhattan with a pup. Good times.

Very nice, especially the interior. We have a 1967 LW923 that I think used to have an NH220 but now has an 8V71 with N65 injectors so about 280hp. It originally had a 5x4 (which we still have) but I replaced them with an RTO-9513 for practical purposes when logging, but it could easily be reverted. Timken 38 double-reduction axles on six-rod. Really nice driving truck but totally underpowered for 43 tons : )

8V71 "screaming demons!" of the Detroit Engine Brand. Drove so many trucks with this engine back in the day, I still hear the ringing in my ears ftom the exhaust noise. Their distinct engine tune could be heard from several miles away.

It really nice to see a vintage Kenworth out on the road. yours looks and sounds sounds really healthy. My uncle started a logging company in the late 60's in Yamhill, OR with a 57 Kenworth. If I'm right it had a 275 and triple sticks. I really loved that truck. Take care of my truck for me! Regards from Ody Slim

The A box is handy for farm and ranch work. I drove a couple R model BowWows that had uglier green paint on the interior. I preferred KW’s green. It took quite a few years before the supplies of surplus gubmint greens worked their way through the system.

I remember how slow big trucks moved in the old days. Getting stuck behind one would be frustrating,especially in hilly terrain. Today they accelerate and move as fast or faster than the cars! I also recall how cool they looked going down the hiway with twin streams of black smoke blowing from thier stacks!😊
