Walter Snow Fighters

[@Bayan1905]

Makes you wonder how many of these old trucks went to the scrap yard? Would love to see one restored especially here in upstate NY to remind people who complain about some of the winters now to show them what it was like back then.

[@Dailydieseldose315]

There are still many lurking in garages and some in active use. Check out my site and search Walter to see them.

[@owentimo]

Love your channel! Have you ever rescued any of these lonely diesels? I would go broke trying to save them all from the scrap yard.

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Not yet but hopefully in the near future.

[@nunyabuziness8421]

All the snowbelt towns have fleets of them still

[@vinnysantucci1596]

Were these at the auction at Dobbins in Adams? I kinda wanted to go to that but I had a different thing to do. (Check out my latest videos) was there any old Macks?

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Yeah, there was a RD roll off and R wrecker. The was one Brockway 260 and a four 776, all in tough shape.

[@iamrichrocker]

noted that you said that they are in good hands..any chance of you getting updates on these beasts..they are just so rare in my estimation..would love to see one up and about..thanks..

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Well, the new owner does have a youtube channel, here is a video of the engine turning over and running for the first time in who knows how long. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2arqmmaiJmtmsU

[@vinnysantucci1596]

Oh. I remember all the Brockways because they were posted on the Brockway site. Rough because they were state trucks. Do you have any more videos from the auction?

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Wow its such a massive beast. Yea Henderson ny its way up near the Canada border. No wonder its a beast a 5 foot snowstorm is normal there haha

[@ROTAXD]

Henderson is actually north of our real snow belt. Jean about 30 miles southeast and you'll be in the lake effect area (Tug Hill plateau).

[@robertpsarudakis3474]

awesome, someone should restore that puppy! Prob w/ a little work, might get it going

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Good news. It was saved a few years later.

[@robertpsarudakis3474]

@@Dailydieseldose315 awesome!

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Big ol 903 slummins. No wonder its parked lol. I never liked those engines much but thats a badass truck!!

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Yup. Only two Macks but only one was for sale. No U-Models. ;) Stay tuned.

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Lots more. Stay tuned over the coming days!

[@vinnysantucci1596]

Ok sweet. When I drove by there before I remember an RD. I also though there was a 359 Brockway? Thanks for the heads up on no U models. I would have been sad that I missed them. :-) haha

[@dancarlin5434]

if I had the funds I would travel around buying & restoring old beasts like these, such a shame to see them left to rust.

[@Dailydieseldose315]

The good news that the two Walter's in this video eventually found homes. They are in good hands.

[@dancarlin5434]

my main point is that their are so many perfectly rebuildable classics out there being left to turn to rust and it is a damned shame.

[@ScaleCarModels]

Great video cool machines, looks like the first one had a Detriot or maybe Cummins engine.

[@Brad1237202]

[@mrplowjrezv]
