I have hauled some pretty big loads in my time but nothing like that . Just after i started driving the company i worked for we made a big move of a shovel that took every lowboy and flat bed trailer we had . we had a Huge Autocar for the time and a big lowboy that had tires all the way across the back end and if you had a tire problem with the ones on the inside you had a HUGE problem . The engine in the Autocar was a Cummins with a turbo and a supercharger and was rated at 380 Hp. and for transmissions it had a 6 and a 5 and a 4 speed . Now i never drove that truck on the road as my boss was the only one who drove that one . When we made this move we had lots of hills to contend with and at the time we never even thought of teaming up extra tractors to push -pull . what we did was we had 4 D 8's with winches that we would unload and place on each side of the road and winch the load as far as we could then block and move up and winch somemore . At one point we had to go around a under pass and to do so we had to fill a cut across rail road tracks and shut the rail road down for 24 hours will we filled compacted and planked then once across dig everything out and make it like we had never been there , once across we then had to use a o road to use a township road get back on the state highway and here again we had to go in and widen that section of road and put down base and cover and make it a super highway just to bypass and under pass just to make one move , lots of equipment lots of people working way before the haul even started . For the prep work it took six weeks and only a week for the move . Durning the move it was the same thing of power lines and phone lines traffic lights having to be held up or taken down ahead of the main loads .

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
