The Betsy L in the bottom center of the last photo has a pair of 540 Twin Disk gears in it. There is also the Earl H which I'm pretty sure has Twin Disks in it. I don't remember which size but they're much smaller than the Betsy's. 165 horsepower versus 1300 horsepower per side. The Earl and Betsy below.

Those MG540's are big gears. I have worked on Twin Disc products for 40 years. Started when I was 17 yrs old working for the Twin Disc dealer here in North Texas. I am still working for the TD dealer even though it has changed hand 3 times since I started. Spent time in Houston, Tx and worked on gears in tugs, shrimpers, work boats and pleasure crafts. But mainly I worked on Oil and Gas rigs and Off Highway equipment. Done a little ZF marine gears but mainly ZF Powershift transmissions they use in construction equipment. I work for Palmer Johnson and a number of years ago we bought Mill Log Equipment up in your area, you probably heard of them.

So cool to learn. I really appreciate seeing what happens with tug boats at a sea port. Anywhere, actually, but your posts are seaport. It gets me thinking how this type of thing goes on maybe 30 miles from where I live and I never thought about it much. It's another world from here. It seems those involved in the jobs at the port all are in the more immediate vicinity. Maryland is truly America in miniature. Every ten to twenty miles it can be so different

I was thinking those tugs were models that one of the board members builds, very realistic haha.

No kidding! That thing is a beast. It must have been a chore to keep those trucks dead even.

Killer Bee · 05-03-2023, 01:03 PM

how about this colossal mess? how'd you like to have to replace all the tires on that rig?

Warrens69GMC · 05-03-2023, 03:30 PM

I would rather change all of the tires than repack all of the wheel bearings.

Not a photo, but I came across this the other day and it's very cool

**special-K** · 05-17-2023, 05:54 AM

I came across this and have to share. The Weasel must have jumped as the woodpecker was taking off. This was taken by a photographer who was in the area looking for these green woodpeckers when this happened. They went to the ground close to where the photographer stood and the weasel lost his hold, woodpecker got away

**Boog** · 05-17-2023, 06:58 AM

^^^^ Now that's something you just don't see every day.

mr.mud1 · 05-17-2023, 12:54 PM

the weasel is saying,now that i got him,what the heck do i do with him?? and that VW Gasser,whether you're a VW guy or not,that's just Two Cool.

**special-K** · 05-17-2023, 01:06 PM

I had seen that VW Squareback gasser on Youtube. I never thought two 4cyl could sound like a V8. The engines must be degreed to fire between each other.

You folks in TN got a beautiful museum down there. My brother spent the other day there. Wish I took these!
