Federal 604

.... down your way?

Obviously the Federal / Reo is a big truck and a good hauler, but I don't think it would match the heavy Diamond T, otherwise we'd all have been using it? :dh:


Maybe it is as heavily rated and it was a supply quantity thing, but the last couple of 604s I looked at didn't look as heavily built or low geared as the 'T' Maybe the limitation was the direct loading on the rear bogie.

So, picture of a Federal 604 hauling a Sherman or something of the same weight then?

Older thread, but interesting, how many were made?, I was asked this morning.

One surfaced in the Netherlands, so the owners said, have not seen it yet.

Cheers,

If I remember correctly, about 1,500 of the type were produced by Federal and Reo.
