When i joined our local fire company, they had a 1960 B60 Mack, tandem axle, 5-speed and 4-speed aux. It hauled 2000 gallons of water for fires, and to fill cisterns, etc. It had the 6 cylinder gasoline engine, and was kind of under powered. The powers that were, in the Fire company, were short sighted when the truck was bought, and they didn't want to get a diesel, as nobody near-by sold diesel fuel! So, when i finally got to learn to drive it, i set out to learn how to get it moving on our hilly roads. It took a while, but i finally got good at driving it, even with my artificial left foot! I could even get it to a fire without using the clutch, except on steep hills, and to stop. Some of the drivers wouldn't take it out on a bet, but i liked driving it. Sort of a challenge. Somebody asked me how i could drive in to the fire company parking lot, in my 1960 Renault Dauphine, a real small car, get out, climb into the Mack, and drive it down the road. I told him i never thought about it, just did it! they finally sold it to a well driller. The last time i saw it, it was in bad shape!

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
