Do you remember the CAB UNDER semi's from back in the early seventy's . I saw a few up on the Buckeye green stamp back then.The driver sat way down under the trailer or almost. also back in the day when a double breasted Yamaha would get if you were lucky 4.9 mile to a gallon and use a gallon of oil a day weather you ran it or not . Then along comes the Cummins with turbo charger and after cooler and ya could get 5.5 or a shade better MPG and only use a gallon of oil between oil changes . Now today we are seeing 6.5-8.5 MPG and no oil used between changes. And no more Dragon and fly trucks . Where you now can drag a BIG load up a mountain above 55 MPH when before it was 10-20 MPH. Also the move from cab overs to Conventional . Even back in the late seventy's seeing cab overs pulling freight boxes west bound into a strong east wind barley able to make fifty MPH flat on the floor . Now they want to go back to the cab over ?? One thing about a cab over if you are ever in a wreck your the first one there and the last to leave. Yea i have driven cab overs and never liked them . Pull a Bucket local with a cab over with out in cab controls and by the end of the day ya feel like Tarzan from swing from the vines . and on a winter day jumping down out of the cab can be detrimental on your health when your feet hit the frozen patch of ice and your feet go way higher then your head .and you land on your head.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
