Kenworth Tilt Trays

Hi Kenny, the C 500 I'd guess has a CAT just looking at the mudflaps, Col reckons it is the only truck he has had that would do that. The Tilt Tray is 550 or 600 HP as well, got a Cummins in it. I thought Werkhorse might recognize it being as it is from his neck of the woods. The 10X4 is "only" about 400 HP too.

Hey Cam ... It turns out the 608s only driver when it was with Samjack is a regular at work. Said it was the last one of the fleet to be sold off. He was happy to see its going to have another good life.

with the "tri drive" they dont really seem to have much of a GVM increase over a boggie drive? .. 600hp is only something that i could ever dream of

Kenny, they are still bogie drive with a lazy axle, still makes the group a tri, we do a few, either pushers or lazies. Not thast much increase in GVM, same as any group in a combination, 16.5 tonnes on a bogie, 20 tonnes on a tri.

Hi Bigcam. That one is Col Taylor from Kurrajong,now operates out of a yard at Penrith.That photo was taken in the late 1990's and is a C501T powered by a 3406 Caterpillar.I think it would be the engine taking off lifting the left side???
I've just looked over this thread a couple of times and can't see the T608 mentioned??? Cheers James.

Sorry Jim .... 609 ......these newer les have me bugga'd at times

Jimmy, the tilt tray Mate, it's a T 60 something or other, they all look the same to me. LOL.
Pretty sure it had a badge on it somewhere near the bonnet said 608, to be honest, that is the only way I could tell. I took a 604 (it had a badge too) up to Katherine 2 years ago and it looked the same except it was a 6X4 prime mover.

Its a T409S, we had one of those. Those tilts look great Cam especially the one with the lazy axle. Col has some big gear down here, I'm sure I saw a video of his C501 simply climbing a hill and the steer slowly coming off the ground

One of Jack Seatons KW's with a Cat n it ,used to lift about 2 foot every time they dropped the clutch at traffic lights.Used to get a lot of finger pointing !!!!
