OMG let me see, what could possibly go wrong here? :lol: never mind the loader collapsing the back tires of that tractor are still on the ground :shock:
 
they used to lift the front of trucks in grain elevators before, when you had no hoist. must have got the idea from that.
 
I remember hauling grain to town and they would hoist the front up to dump the trucks osha made them quit using the hoists and that made a lot of old grain trucks useless for the most part
 
That might look dangerous in todays society but I guarantee if you had to shovel grain out of that truck all day and day after day, you would be looking for an easier way dangerous or not. Besides I don't think its as dangerous as it looks. The truck is chained to the very front of the loader so that weight transfer and leverage when the truck comes off the ground is minimal. The truck holds 2 dumps from a Massey 21A and 27, maybe 100 bu at the most and the box hangs over the back axle helping the weight transfer.
 
I?ve shoveled plenty of grain and yes it would be worth figuring out a way not to have to shovel all ya gotta do is keep your head out of where it might get smashed
 
That looks to be over a 200 bushel bed on that truck. Way bigger than had on the 1950 1 ton International and it would haul 150 bushels.
 
I measured it up. About 117 bu leveled. I was off some but it holds nowhere near 200 bu.

At paper mills that is how they still unload the wood chips trucks. Of course they have to lift them much higher.
 
Greenenvy, the picture of the truck in your post is not the one in the orignal posers picture but a smaller bed. My truck bed was a 9' long 8' wide and 4' high bed and scaled out to the 150 bushels. Now the truck in the orignal picture apeares to be a 12' long bed and 8' wide so subtracting for sideboards 11.5' long and 7.5 ft wide that is 86.25 square feet with 3 foot high sideboards that makes it 258.75 cubic feet and a bushel is 1.25 cu ft so that makes it 207 bushel level full. If that bed is only 2.5' deep it still would be 172.5 bushel Now ear corn is 2.5 cu ft per bushel so with that it would be clost to the hundred bushels but what they are unloading is not ear corn. And that bed is longer than a 9' pickup bed, it could even have been a 14' bed and not even a 12' bed. So how does the orignal posters truck bed measure out for a hundred bu.
 
Leroy, they are the same truck. Why do you think I posted the 2nd picture of the truck and Case 500. That picture svcummins posted is a family picture that I have posted several times on the internet. The picture is our 1940 Chevy, 1949 Farmall M, and our JD paddle elevator. We still have all three which is why I posted a picture of the same truck. The box is 11.5 ft long, just over 6.5 wide, and a hair over 2ft tall. I don?t know were you get 1.25 bu per cubic ft. We?ve always used .7878 and when I looked it up it was was .8.
 
Look close again and you will see the box on the raised truck is a lot taller than on the other one. It shows different front fenders as well. And that 1,25 figure has been standard figure for over 60 years and used in JD publications.

Leroy if you look close again you will see that in the old picture the sides have add-ons on them.
 
That could make it to the bigger capacity but does not change what looked like a different model truck to me.
 

Thats because you are blind and being an jerk for calling me a liar not to mention my father and grandpa who passed the story down. Only other truck we had at the time was our IH KB7. If you can actually see, the top picture does not look like a KB7.
