Do you remember the CAB UNDER semi's from back in the early seventy's . I saw a few up on the Buckeye green stamp back then.The driver sat way down under the trailer or almost. also back in the day when a double breasted Yamaha would get if you were lucky 4.9 mile to a gallon and use a gallon of oil a day weather you ran it or not . Then along comes the Cummins with turbo charger and after cooler and ya could get 5.5 or a shade better MPG and only use a gallon of oil between oil changes . Now today we are seeing 6.5-8.5 MPG and no oil used between changes. And no more Dragon and fly trucks . Where you now can drag a BIG load up a mountain above 55 MPH when before it was 10-20 MPH. Also the move from cab overs to Conventional . Even back in the late seventy's seeing cab overs pulling freight boxes west bound into a strong east wind barley able to make fifty MPH flat on the floor . Now they want to go back to the cab over ?? One thing about a cab over if you are ever in a wreck your the first one there and the last to leave. Yea i have driven cab overs and never liked them . Pull a Bucket local with a cab over with out in cab controls and by the end of the day ya feel like Tarzan from swing from the vines . and on a winter day jumping down out of the cab can be detrimental on your health when your feet hit the frozen patch of ice and your feet go way higher then your head .and you land on your head.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
