Onondaga County, NY 1978 FWD RB44 plow - truck No. 124_1

Engine: Caterpillar 3406A six cylinder diesel

Transmissions: 5 speed main & 2 speed auxiliary

 

They don't get much bigger than this! Old No. 124 on display at the 1997 open house in Marcellus. My friend is explaining V-plow operation to my girlfriend at the time.

 

Equipped with a V and double wings, this is a very large plow truck. Snow removal was its only purpose judging from the ballast box mounted at the back.

 

This truck was replaced in 2002 by an International F-2674 single wing tandem which is still in service I believe.

 

Note the 1987 Vohl tractor No. 318 in the background. This unit has a snow blower mounted on the front and is one of two still in operation at Onondaga County.
