How to Retrofit Remote Control

Doug Osborne Papers, HCEA
The introduction of internal combustion to rollers made it possible to equip them with attachments for road maintenance. This Galion Little Master three-wheel roller is outfitted with a rear scarifier to break up packed surfaces, and an adjustable underframe moldboard to strike the surface off as it compacted. The projections on the large drive drums provide additional traction; these are rather subtle, as various spikes and cleats were also available, all mounting through holes in the drums. Equipped with stout enough traction enhancements, a suitably powerful three-wheel roller could also draw some sizes of pull graders in lieu of, or even in addition to, the underframe blade.

Tom Berg for Construction Equipment
Model 589 daycab tractor in “legendary” red with a black band looks handsome and purposeful, but closely resembles previous models. That is exactly what customers said they wanted and what Peterbilt designers gave them. The main change is the 2.1-meter-wide aluminum cab that’s 8 inches broader than the cabin on the 389, which now is out of production. Like older “Petercars,” the 589 can be outfitted for highway and on/off-road vocational duties.
