I am kinda suprised no one mentioned anything about this "Big Iron" truck in their postings...

I saw it, too. It was attracting a lot of attention. I didn't take a picture, for some reason. I often wonder why I miss taking some shots, but one isn't very social behind a camera all the time.

It stuck out like a sore thumb, it was cool!

oliverguy · 10-15-2012, 09:32 AM

I saw it. Historically trucks are not big attention getters at hershey, but I thought it was nice. Wasn't the asking price kind of high?

BrianBurkert · 10-15-2012, 12:04 PM

I saw it but I don't recall seeing a price on it.

That's a lot of money in tires.

They were staying just up the road from Hershey in Grantville. The A and A-A trucks were being driven back and forth to the swap meet each dday. It was very nice to see them on the road!

I thought it was the neatest looking 10 wheeler I have ever seen. I took several pictures.

columbiA · 10-15-2012, 08:32 PM

Warford had a conversion for AA,s in which both tandem axles were driven-much like modern tandems.

spdway1 · 10-15-2012, 09:19 PM

What was the asking price?

Brad in Germany · 10-16-2012, 08:43 PM

I too saw this AA. It has a conversion made by Dual Duty.....and I don't think that it was for sale.

Here is a 1928-1929 Dual Duty brochure:

I love "AA" trucks. My dad had a "AA" truck with the dual high transmission. A friend had a "AA" fire truck that was a 10 pointer. I think the big draw back is the size and the room they take in a garage.

Christoph · 10-17-2012, 12:52 AM

What kind of driven axle is that?
Just curious:
Seems to me, the ring-gear is sitting on the right side of the banjo.
Doing that in my "A", id have 1 foreward and 3 reverse?
Please wise me up...

Thank you
Christoph

That was a nice truck, talked with the owner, he bought it from the original owner. It had a livestock body on it originally, he plans to fit it with a coal delivery body. Bob

V4F · 10-17-2012, 07:52 AM

the rear axle appears to be a "tag" axle (not driven) . there to carry more weight !

spectria · 07-06-2014, 07:16 PM

Fantastic, I have an AA that has some of the tag axle parts on it and I need all the pics I can get, Thank YOU!

SeaSlugs · 07-06-2014, 09:40 PM

love it! will be a real show stopper once he gets a coal bed on it.

california dean · 07-07-2014, 09:35 AM

Anyone know what gear ratio that axle would probably have? Also, what ratio would the worm drive type axle have? Thanks!

Gunmetal blue2 · 07-07-2014, 09:46 AM

Thank you so much, I always wanted to see one let alone have pictures of one.
