Yep , and i got quiet a few more years on ya . First big truck was a B61 Mack with a 711 and a five and four . Do you remember the CABLE shift Road Rangers ?? the four by fours . And the company i worked for we had the BIG truck , and Autocar that had a 380 hp. Cummins that had a six a five and four speed transmission Huge twin screw rears and sat on TRUE 24 inch rubber . It was a massive truck that pulled a big lowboy trailer for the really heavy loads . The mack i drove hauled anything from fifty five tons down. The A car would move the big shovel houses where we would remove the crawler section and boom and counter weight having the house up on cribbing and backing the trailer under the house and jack it down on to the trailer . Now moving thee big Manitowoc's and the big Lima's and some of the Bucyers shovel- Cranes took up to thirty truck loads to move and two weeks to put back together. Took all the trucks to make a move . Plum refused to drive the old White Mustangs . It was a major operation as power lines had to be ,oved or taken down along with phone lines. And NO BIG roads back then as we were just really getting started on building them. First 13 speed i drove was in a 69 Diamond Reo with a 318 , First truck i drove with a jake was a 73 I H 4200. If these KIDS and SO CALLED TRUCK DRIVERS of today had to get in one of them old trucks and run the old back roads that back then were the main roads with no P/S , No A/C , No air ride seat, no air ride , no air ride cab and at best if you were lucky a 36 inch fall in and fall out sleeper and around 250 Hp. and IF you were lucky maybe 318 to 335 Hp. for the big rigger owner operator they would quit in the first fifty miles . Us OLD guys were a tougher breed back then.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
