Cities raising laws against jake brakes really gets under my skin. Recently the city I live in passed a no jake law on city streets. That really really really really erks me for many reasons. Most semis running through town to the shops and stores are making deliveries when the stores are open (during the daylight, yes i know some people work second shift). INdustrial parks in our town are on the outskirts of town. So nghtly deliveries most deliveries arent running through town. Most semis today are stock and these neew semis and mufflers are very very very quiet. Not at all like the old days. I asked the police chief if there banning jake brakes what about all these import cars w/tin can mufflers, and motorcycles w/straight pipes and these street motor cycles the wiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggg (rev up to about 13000 rpm as there doing wheelies through town. I said they are driving through town doing burn outs etc etc all hours of the day and night. He told me just becasue there is an ordinance dont worry babout it, it wont be enforced. I also said its kind of like sending your officers out without bullet proof vests and explained to him more and more people dont grow up on farms, they have no clue about safety and what these big trucks are, and people cut you off swerve infront of you etc i said anymore driving today we need all the help avoiding accidents we can get. (dont get me wrong m not a bad driver and know theres no substitute for proper following distances etc etc but how many of you out there know of the lady that comes from 3 lanes over (from your left) gets infront of your truck (cause your in the right lane slow lane trying to stay out of the way) and turns right. I have had people who literlaly dont stay in my lane for 3 seocnds the come into the lane and turn right then right there. They could slow down turn behind me cause they know there slowing down but they never do. Enough about my soap box. And to answer the above ?, banks makes about the best and has a kit so everythign works togehter. We have elctromagnetic brakes on our fire trucks uses electormagnetc on the driveshaft and that w/o using the brakes can lock the rear tiers up but when we went to put one of them on our grass truck (ford power stroke) they didnt make anythign for a truck that small.

The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
