I wonder if the last picture is of the guyline equipped 075 that 075 was telling me about.

No mine was on a 085 under carriage, and we installed the guyline package in Jeune Landing in 88 along with A/C and a larger sprocket on the torque. And the Machine was yellow

Few carrier questions for 075 on the 075s
Model # for the RTC Model # for the standard track Model # for the 044 track
The yellow 075 pic. above the Super snork say "Prototype 075 1977" I'm wondering if it would have had the Northwest winch etc. back in 77 maybe a 60T or 70T
BTC that is L103, also that new orange rtc 075 has L324 on the cab can't make out the emblem though.
Here are a couple pics of Kelsey Bays 044 line shortener I may have posted them before???Kelsey,KOK 2 (7).jpgKelsey,WR-303 (12).jpg

Y-31

That picture of the Y-31 ended up being the Kelsey Bay logo. Picture was taken at Kokamee Main in the back of the White River. You can see Mario Delcasino in the picture standing right out back behind the door, always wore his SMadill red hat. The murals on the machine don't show up well in the picture but it was was named the sidehill gouger.

L-103 was operated by Gerry Mitchell. That machine is still at Kelsey Bay and gets run periodically by a contractor at the operation.

L-324 was a loader at Kelsey as well, It was a northwest but i can't tell if its the same L-324 or not.

Great Pictures Murk100
