I bet that was a slow process. 10MPH top speed maybe?

At least they had "super singles" on the rear of the tractor!

Didn't even have to get up steam!
The truck looks like it could be from the late 1910's or early 1920's. The trailer has more modern pneumatic tires and the shovel looks to be powered by an internal combustion engine. The "BAY. 737" looks like it could be a 1930's or 1940's phone number. Could the picture be from the 1930's or 1940's, and the truck was already around twenty year old when the picture was taken? Much like today, back then companies may have used a mix of new and old equipment depending on their needs.

My father in law always called semi's
"transfer trucks". I guess that's what they
were called.

One time on Jay Lennos Garage...
He pointed out, on a steam engine (external combustion) everything is wrapped, insulated, recycle exhaust heat, the object was to contain as much heat as possible.
While on an internal combustion engine, the object was to remove heat. A radiator, big exhaust, free flowing heads, etc.
Just an interesting observation...

That sure is a lot of weight for a single axle truck
and trailer.
YTDOT could have a field day with that picture.

My problem is not how fast or where the truck pulled it but how in the earth did that truck have
enough brakes to hold that load on any kind of slope. Had to be old rod mechanical brakes as old as
that truck is. Sure were some brave operators back in those days. Just driving that shovel up those
ramps was an endeavor for sure.

A 1924-'27 International Harvester Model "94" or "103" truck. Those were IHC's heavy haulers, rated at 4.5 or 5 ton. The B-E shovel is a model "37-B" that came
out in 1931. It was powered by gasoline or Diesel engines or an electric motor (with a field generator supplying the power). These cable excavators were built
until 1943.This one is set up as a "face shovel", its bucket confugured to work in a pit against the walls scooping up material and loading it in wagons or
trucks.
The wheels on the low-boy trailer are solid rubber like the tractor-truck's, but unlike the truck's rear wheels, there are no brakes fitted to them!
Stopping this load was accomplished by letting your foot off the feed pedal- with a 65:1 final drive ratio your top speed was only about 20 mph to begin with and
at idle you could walk faster than it would move. Now, stopping on a grade might be a little different and could involve some hastily tossed timbers (like those
loading ramps) serving double-duty as wheel chocks......

What would have been the Gross weight? I see that the Truck does have springs on it.

Could be loaded heavier. The overloads on the tractor are not touching.
I would love to find an old truck like that. I wonder what happened to them all? You hardly ever see one. Would be very cool to take to tractor shows. It probably doesn't go much faster than an old farm tractor. Think about the whopping 20 horsepower engine it has. A real hot rod.
Can anyone figure out how the step down part of the trailer is made? It looks really weak. The bottom corner looks like it would just bend. It basically just comes to a point corner.
I wonder how this would be licensed today? Would it need a title and license plate or would it be treated like a farm tractor? I think I would just hang an SMV sign on the back and drive it.
