Dixmont! You've got to be kidding, I grew up in Clinton, just three towns away. We knew people from Dixmont.

The old title info in the glove box indicates that before the people in Georgia had it, it was registered in Mississippi....

The farthest back I know is that it got registered in North Port, Florida around Oct. 15, 2005. That is a solid month and a half after Katrina hit New Orleans. North Port was not in the path of Katrina. The name on that registration was Alpine (Industries, I think). No personal name. If the truck came down to the gulf for Katrina from Maine or anywhere else, it seems strange for it to be registered in North Port (just south of Sarasota) when it did. If it had been registered in Pensacola about that time, then that would be more understandable for the Katrina scenario. I haven't the foggiest notion what happened with that truck before Oct. 15 2005. Except for what you are telling me... do you have any way to verify that?

Woodhauler did say his trucks said Alpine on the doors.
Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

this mcnutt guy moved around a lot. he asked me the cut chip wood for him. i would say mid 90's. said he was from alton was renting a garage in brewer and ron says he lived in dixmont. at one time all his tired iron was at dysarts. seems like it was there a long time.

Hmm, the plot thickens.  Well, it is obvious that this truck has moved around a lot! We took it out yesterday to try to pick up a huge stump, and failed. Looks like we either need to do a little tinkering on the hydraulics, or get in there and knock all the dirt off the stump. We broke the shear pin holding the PTO shaft, and red-necked it back together enough to put the grapple away, then drove back home. (Used our part-time CDL driver). We might have tried some more things, but the driver had to get to a commitment-- he's a busy one! We are needing to go get our CDL road tests. Won't be in that rig, though. We have a newer truck we're fixing up for that.

Yes it is a Prentiss 110. We are having problems with the pivot gear (rack and pinion). It is binding up and popping. I guess we will have to replace or resurface the gear and/or rack. We will be doing a full inspection on it before putting it into serious use. But we did manage to go pluck a huge stump with it, its first payload for us. Uh, in case you were wondering, no we did not dig the stump out with it. The stump was already loose. We were just paid to haul it off.

the G i had back in the 70's broke the peice the loader pivots on. it was fairly common. after that had a 110 it was better. the a frame cracked on that one. not real bad the 110 was far better than the g

make sure the collar under the a-frame is tight. slop there could lead to the rack and pinion skipping.  we acutally used to dig stumps with ours. you had to be a little circumspect, digging around and breaking each root. we also set trusses, built rock walls, hauled sheds, and many other things with the old 110. looks like it had the same grapple as yours too. grease it good and often. it may be slow but its strong.
