[DeTomaso] ZF

[ProvaMo.com]

I have some documentation that shows a diagram of the Fendt Roller somewhere in my
pile of 'stuff', it may also be on my website somewhere.  It looks like what we called
"steam rollers" as kids (but they were not powered by steam).  They were/are used to
flatten asphalt. (Steam would rise off.)  Generally street paving is/was not performed
in heavy rainy/wet conditions, nor in the hottest summer days (depending upon where
you live I guess).

Dear Jack,


            You wrote:

             Is that true??     I had heard an allegation that the ZF was originally
designed for a road-grading machine.   It was said casually and I thought that it was
possible, but not really plausible.   Is there really some documentation to support
that the ZF was indeed designed and intended for a pavement building machine??    If
so, then it would seem to explain why it is so tolerant of high torque and horsepower
powerplants with minimal problems.


                     Very curious,  Chuck Engles
