Autocar AP19T slogging a large transformer though the mud with a push from a loader 

V-12 Cummins diesel engine, a 30,000 lb. tubular front axle and 200,000 lb. tandem rear axles.

I guess Autocar was “Hoodstacking” their trucks before it was cool.

Easy to maintain and out of the way.

It is a heavy haul tractor so it might as well be exhausted like a tractor.

I think the over the road stuff falls under some motor vehicle regulations that requires the exhaust to exit behind the passenger compartment to avoid CO ingestion problems.

We can have tire warmer exhaust on pick up but not a car here.

There may have been other models but 95% of what I see are T9's

There are a couple working ones near me . T9 w/ Bucyrus Erie crane.

My poor old TD9-91 wouldn't stand a chance against that brute in the middle picture, @mike newman.  I'm guessing that it's a D11 ?

[hardtail]

Look at the amount of catwalks, barriers, handrails, platforms and a retractable ladder, hydraulically operated I'm sure, those Aussies sure like a well guarded crawler😁

...I  have seen them up close, Mike, but they are dwarfed by    the 800 /900 ton excavators.....

I saw them in the Kalgoorlie Pit, when   I got a trip into the bowels of the earth ,whilst Daughter #2  was operating the Cat  dump truck, there...

A couple more from Mike's area of the world and his favorite brands 

 

....A Wellington Earth Moving firm of some considerable long standing....  Drapers...     (The Mack  )...and indeed those C1800   4x2 dump trucks were called ''Butter Box ''  cabs...but......that unfortunate sobriquet  was actually given to the earlier generation cabs, from that Australian era...

I started my humble business with a   A554   wheel tractor with a Ford..(made under License )back hoe and the old Butter Box   cab   4x2 with the big 282   cubic inch petrol motor and aa 5x2 speed set up..!!!!

If I got it correctly -

Queensland O H & S decrees that there are four "height levels" on a D11, paperwork required accessing each one - up or down.

Great for access to service truck, or retrieving things that might have been dropped

[jeeper61]

Maybe from a show in NZ?

yes that TD20C was at the show 'Wheels at Wanaka 2025'  at easter in New Zealand.  Bloody excellent show, with all machinery represented; was 100 years of caterpillar. But also would have had as good a collection of the 'green team' as anywhere in the world. And also a good representation from IH. 2 TD25C, TD20C TD15C, TD18, ; 442 and 295 Payscrapers and Payhauler with 16V71 power and a big payloader to load it .

Lots of videos on youtube

[jeeper61]

Here is a couple of Payhaulers back in the day in southern New England 

[jeeper61]

Hough D-500 "Paydozer" push loading a fleet of Cat 631B motor scrapers in a deep earth cut section on construction of Route 52 in Webster-Oxford, MA. September 1969.

[jeeper61]

C.R. West Inc. uses an International TD-25 dozer with 2-shank ripper to break-up the hard pan to make easier loading for the motor scrapers working this deep earth cut on construction of the "Laconia Bypass" (Route 3) in Laconia, NH. Earth excavation on the 3 mile project was 500,200 cu. yds. September 1968.

[jeeper61]

Here is a NZ TD

DH Robinson TD25

[jeeper61]

An all International fleet, except for the cable shovel works the big borrow pit for the new Interstate 86 (Today known as I-84) in Sturbridge, MA. July 1971

Seen are a Bucyrus-Erie 88-B cable shovel. several International PH-180 "PayHauler" end dumps & several International 295 "PayScrapers".

International 295 "PayScraper" gets push loaded by a International TD-25 dozer

An International PH-180 "PayHauler" heads over a new bridge across the Quinebaug River which was relocated on the project.

That'll be a trick to set that in the box. At least there is dirt in the box to cushion the boulder.

I'll bet it was a "trick" to get it in the bucket

Went out west to visit our daughter and family this past couple weeks. My SIL has picked up a new project truck. A 1954 IH P/U in decent shape for the year. Drove it home,

I'm pretty sure that is more like a 64 than a 54.

Correct.  That is a 63-64 C-1100 4x4.
