These first 4 photos depict the functioning Niles as I first saw it, at Balgen Machine, in West Stockbridge, MA, in the late 1980s
The next 13 photos show the Niles being scrapped out. By the time I got to it many of the shafts and giant bolts had been cut up.
This is a 5 speed truck transmission out of a circa 1958 International Load Star. I found out much later that it was totally worn out and had to be replaced by an identical transmission that I finally found in Ashley Falls, MA.
The next series of photos show the two truck loads of parts being off loaded by Davenport's crane
Cleo running the forklift truck. She uses her tail to pull the break lever on.
