All i can say is that myself i do not care for any V8 diesel and i have run my fair share of them since 1963 . Now as for power on a grain truck around here they would be a dog just like any two ton truck . Around here a straight grain truck hauling 300-400 bushels of grain in the fall is about one and a half steps above a tractor and two Kill Bros 350 wagons, on the hills a tractor and two wagons will darn near push the truck up the hills . On the flats ya might hit fifty . And Oh if your thinking about going gas powered parts are getting hard to find for the 404's . I worked on two 1700 's with 404's this past fall and had a fun time making them work , the one i am still fighting ing. problems with it . But he bought it cheap , had he bought the one with the DT 466 for a grand more he would have had a TRUCK with brakes and a engine that we can still get parts for . Myself i do not like JUICE brakes on trucks as i have seen way to many problems with them , brake lines rusted , old rubber brake lines going bad , hydro-vac's going out wheel cylinders leaking frozen adjusters no dual braking systems . And oh the other thing most grain trucks were not built heavy enough as most have GVW's of as low as 21-25000 lbs. and you load a load of grain and trip the scales at 32-36000 lbs.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
