Trailer Tire Size: 11:20 X 22.5 Engine: Cummins NH220 Diesel (220HP) Donated by= Silver Eagle lndust This was one of the first trucks to have the 10 speed Roadranger transmission invented by Julius Gaussoin, founder of Silver Eagle Industries. Before then truckers either had two transmissions or they didnt have enough gears. Multiple transmissions increased vehicle weight, reducing load capacity. Twin sticks meant more work for the driver. The 10 speed provided ample gears with just one shift stick. I This tractor was used to haul general freight throughout the Pacific Northwest by Silver Eagle. Adopted by:
