There is two of them mounted in my garage Saving them for something big in the future LOL If nobody post I will
This summer I went to Campbell River. I camped at Elk Falls Provencial Park. Nice place. Girls had to do the laundry and some shopping so I had a few hours for my self. I went to Dennis Dystant Trucking shop. I went into the office and ask for permission to take some pictures of an Hayes HDX and a KW that were parked in their yard. Sorry I can't remember the young mans name but he said: You can take all the Pictures you want but back in the shop we have an Hayes HDX that was being rebuild. So I followed him into the shop and there was a 1972 Hayes HDX with 120.000 rears. They were doing a hell of a job. She will look like new when she leaves the shop. Suddenly a man came out from a small room. It was Dennis Dystant himself. It was a pleasure meeting him. We did some BS-ing... DD has 3 Hayes HDX and 8-9 off highway KW in operation. Thank you Dennis for taking your time speaking with me and let me take pictures of your equipment in your yard and shop.

I just want to see the arm of the person who tossed the wrappers....
I knew a second loader once when he had an off hiway truck, just pulled out about 50' of very heavy fishing line with a small weight and tossed it first. An other second loader I knew just tossed the wrapper in the same situation, of course he had callouses on his arm from where his knuckles drug on the ground. He was built like a gorilla and ate like one also. His lunch consisted or 2 quarts of coffee, a 10 can stick of snoose and a cup of yogurt (his healthy eating habit.)
I have seen this personally. The fine fellow driving the H-17 still throws his wrappers himself. Of course this can be difficult in close quarters but he does "git er dun"
That's awesome! I'm 30 and drove log truck for the first time a few weeks ago and had a hell of a time throwing wrappers over 14'... lol But I am only 5'4" tall too! Old boy knew what he was doing!
