Dubuque Works has been running since 1947- we are the Engineering center for the Worldwide Construction and Forestry Division ( formerly Industrial as seen in the video). Design engineering and test facilities are in Dubuque and we manufacture Backhoes, Crawlers, Skid Steers, Tracked Fellerbunchers and Knuckleboom Loaders. As well as cabs for Backhoes, Crawlers, Graders, ADT's, etc. The Dubuque foundry and engine line are no longer around though. We also have a plant in Davenport where Loaders, ADT's, Graders, Skidders and Wheeled Fellerbunchers are made and a few other C&F factories around the US and rest of the world now too.
If you're not already I'd encourage you to join the Two-Cylinder Club- tons of info and services for your 435 and all John Deere tractors. www.two-cylinder.com

Great update on the Dubuque plant.

Appreciate the link on the Two-Cylinder site. I'm familiar with the Magazine and I'm an old member of Johnny Popper, but it sure kind of fizzled. I also go to YT Mag now and then, but the Two-Cylinder site looks great.

Thanks again.

I think Sweet 30 is right, the aide was for lack of traction on that steep grade. We know that Jimmy had the power to pull on it's own! I love it where you can see the smoke shooting straight up out of the pipes. Ain't no black. That mill is burning all that fuel!! I was also a bit disappointed to see the loader pushing, but that was like a truck pull with the weight on the sled fully forward, power vs traction. Traction kills the pull.

Not bad for a 2-53 (although I believe it's been reworked some):

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

That was great

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Good Sounding 4-53:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I agree. Made that Ford sound great!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos

Too bad they didn't play the "real" music.

A 10-Speed Road Ranger in a School Bus.

1985 Crown with a 6-71. Of course he's skipping half the gears. Would had been nice if he went through all of them for the video:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Looks like he's shifting a consistent 3rd, 5th, 7th, then 8, 9 and 10.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I agree. I can see doing that when picking up kids every block or two.

If we haven't seen this one, here it is. Short but sweet... on ears and eyes!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Sounds great.

But why such a light load? lol

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I think he's on vacation :lol:

I have deep respect for the Australian road train method of hauling. Maybe it's more of a fascination. A whole lot of curiosity for sure. I wonder if they are the same trucks as ours that the authorities are just plain more lenient on or are they built on heavier chassis? It's like the wild west of trucking and I love it!

Here's a Diamond T 6v53 pulling double flatbed loads of round bales

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Sounds great. Love the distinct sound of a 6V-53. I just wish he could shift better, lol. Looks like he's got a 10-Speed Road Ranger. I also don't know how he didn't take out the mailbox when turning into the driveway.

The trucks there probably have high specs, but I believe they just have liberal length requirements, especially way out in that beautiful country they have there.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Yep. Less people, less restrictions. Not that they aren't here, but trucks hauling goods are vital to life there. Personal transportation is secondary. What a great world!! :cool:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Just found another one, 12v71 KW log truck. What a beaut!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I've seen it before. I think I showed it before, but not sure. It just came up when I went to YouTube and I'll show it again. I know nothing about this truck, this set-up, where it was filmed, or what it's use is. I know it is super custom and clean as can be. I think it's Brazil

Pretty cool how they turned a Bus into a trailer.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Here's a good one

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I go on YouTube and there the suggestions are. I come back here to share. I'd never find these

6v53!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

This Dodge 900 has a quiet 318 (GM)

Look how clean that thing is. Sounds great!

I guess this counts

'74 Brockway Wrecker with a 6-71, 10-Speed Road Ranger.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Everything you want except in a Brockway. Love that 6-71 sound

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, and you do get to catch the Detroit a time or two. Just a great film. GMs of all kinds on the hiways

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Interesting film. Heck, she can shift better than some guys I know.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Cooooooollllll... :)

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Not a Detroit Diesel and not a heavy hauler. But this guy put a 478 V6 in his GMC pickup along with a Gear Vendors unit behind the NP435

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

That truck is sweet!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Sorry no video but did get 2 pics of the old wabco rock pit truck with a 12v-71

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

'77 IH 1800 with a 4-53T:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I tried to find that video and came up with this '77 Peterbilt with 12v71. I apologize in advance for the "shaky" video :D

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

That was cool. Thanks.
