[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

I am kinda suprised no one mentioned anything about this "Big Iron" truck in their postings...

I saw it, too. It was attracting a lot of attention. I didn't take a picture, for some reason. I often wonder why I miss taking some shots, but one isn't very social behind a camera all the time.

It stuck out like a sore thumb, it was cool!

I saw it. Historically trucks are not big attention getters at hershey, but I thought it was nice. Wasn't the asking price kind of high?

 

[BrianBurkert]

I saw it but I don't recall seeing a price on it.

 

[BrianBurkert]

That's a lot of money in tires.

They were staying just up the road from Hershey in Grantville. The A and A-A trucks were being driven back and forth to the swap meet each dday. It was very nice to see them on the road!

I thought it was the neatest looking 10 wheeler I have ever seen. I took several pictures.

Warford had a conversion for AA,s in which both tandem axles were driven-much like modern tandems.

What was the asking price?

 

[Brad in Germany]

I too saw this AA. It has a conversion made by Dual Duty.....and I don't think that it was for sale.

Here is a 1928-1929 Dual Duty brochure:

I love "AA" trucks. My dad had a "AA" truck with the dual high transmission. A friend had a "AA" fire truck that was a 10 pointer. I think the big draw back is the size and the room they take in a garage.

What kind of driven axle is that?
Just curious:
Seems to me, the ring-gear is sitting on the right side of the banjo.
Doing that in my "A", id have 1 foreward and 3 reverse?
Please wise me up...

Thank you
Christoph

That was a nice truck, talked with the owner, he bought it from the original owner. It had a livestock body on it originally, he plans to fit it with a coal delivery body. Bob

the rear axle appears to be a "tag" axle (not driven) . there to carry more weight !

 

[spectria]

Fantastic, I have an AA that has some of the tag axle parts on it and I need all the pics I can get, Thank YOU!

 

[SeaSlugs]

love it! will be a real show stopper once he gets a coal bed on it.

 

[california dean]

Anyone know what gear ratio that axle would probably have? Also, what ratio would the worm drive type axle have? Thanks!

 

[Gunmetal blue2]

Thank you so much, I always wanted to see one let alone have pictures of one.
