Cline TD-1120-P Documentary

[@victorpulliam2848]

I worked as a designer for Cline Truck during this time frame. This truck was our most popular model.

[@PAmining]

Cool! Thanks for chiming in with that information!

[@1snappytom]

Great video we had a Cline in the sand pit I worked for in the 1970s, really Kool truck to drive around as a young man learning trades back then. Glad to see this one is still earning its keep and not waiting to get scraped.

We had 2 of those for “water” trucks on a strip mine I worked at. This one actually looks like one of them. One was the auto and the other was manual. I enjoyed running these old beasts, especially the standard unit.

My dad worked the big trucks and mine equipment aas a mech. I remember running around these on days I wasn't in school. Love it man.

[@wendymarckmann9886]

Max Cline was my Great Uncle. He made great trucks. Thanks for the great video.

[@PAmining]

Cool! Thanks

[@MrSilicon605]

Your presentation & speaking agility is 1st rate, hence the reason I subscribed

[@PAmining]

Thank you!

[@alexandergrube6437]

I love how it has an off centered cab. I like the look of it

[@johndoe43]

My dad worked at an open pit mine that had 4 or 5. Custom made stock pile cline rock wagons. T and j owned the company then located in Martin city just outside KC. When I got into welding I talked to them but they were slow at the time.

I don't know how you dig up the data on all these older models but I really enjoy your videos describing these unusual machines. Thank you.

[@PAmining]

It takes a lot of time, and some machines are a headache to find useful information to use in a video because they are so old/rare.

[@randyruppel6727]

Finally a off road truck for me, no voodoo automatic transmission lol

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Great video!

[@TheSpazModic]

Thanks...learned a lot!

[@slobodanmartinovic1216]

Cool video,cool truck ! :-)

[@tireman4567]

awsome vid its amazing how long some of these peices of equipment have been in service long after they were discontinued in production

[@charlesmccormick4443]

Eagle coal an dock/centeral asphalt/w.v.paving/v.n.green co.} use to have + or - 8 clines with the automatic/shift position transmission that had a retarder type hold back for steep hills,used to haul coal off the strip,and at 40 ton the bed isnt full yet. The dump bed on this cline is LARGER than the "off road bed" on a 800 mack. Ive had 47-48 ton on a 800 mack with the off road bed,so go figure..............Ive also drove a cline with the manuel shift/roadranger .Theres a slightly earlier cline than the one in this video,it had a straight exhaust stack,straight up out on the middle of the engine compartment hood,and a slightly newer cline had the muffler mounted on the passenger side front fender.........

[@RegalCobra097]

Why does it have a red and a blue lever for the box?

[@gohjw7175]

This video amazing, hope you can post more documentary video

[@PAmining]

Thanks, there of course will be more in the future!

[@nealk6387]

They used I beam for the frame? Holy shit!

[@ryanbecker7283]

I subscribed the machenes are very interesting and you definetly know what ur talkin about and are very knowledgeable about them

[@dunkelheit843]

Nice truck, and well made video. Howcome things changed with these dumptrucks, as the biggest miningtrucks nowdays only have one one rear axel with massive wheels, I figure you'd want to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible?

[@mazdak323]

old machines,old steel,perfekt

[@davidbrennan5]

built to last!

[@squach6239]

I drove a 50 ton articulated Cline.

[@optimusprime1651]

could you do a documentary on a pacific or hayes dump trucks

[@PAmining]

If I come across any sure. We don't have many of those trucks in the mining industry.

[@Theonetwo48]

Leafs on leafs on leafs! That is one beefy truck also what size hitachi is ahead of the truck?

[@PAmining]

Yes it is. The Hitachi you spotted is an EX1800

[@blinko656]

What do you suppose they cost back in 70? Hope you had a good Thanksgiving..:)

[@PAmining]

Hard to say. I know what some of the old Euclids cost back in the 1950s, but the dollar value changed greatly by the 70s. If I had to guess, I would say $60-70K

[@afberglund2764]

Why would some customers prefer the noisy Detroit over cummins?

[@UnitCrane514]

Never heard of Cline, cool old truck though, dont like the Cummins diesel, would rather have a Jimmy. Looks almost homemade like it was thrown together in a shop on a 3 week build. Built with an "I" beam frame with leaf springs to ensure kidney failure to all operators who dare to drive it!

[@lebaillidessavoies3889]

its on the decline now...
