Witch one ?? the one along US 30 or the one running down old rt. 8 or the one along Rt 183 or the one up by cleveland , you are talking about the canal's wright . If not then i am not sure what TOW Path your talking about. Yes i hauled a lot of coal , slag lime stone sand alloys scrap salt road and also CFC salt for baulk mixing live stock feed . Hauled coal to power plants, schools and mills,rubber plants in Akron . If it fit in a dump trailer we hauled it . worst job i ever was on was the Coke haul from Youngstown Republic to Warren Republic . seven loads a day seven days a week . The only break ya got was if you had to wait to load or if you were unloading into the hopper , yea that was fun setting next to coke ovens about thirty feet away getting to enjoy the smell and the heat if they happened to open one and shove it while you were either loading or unloading . and oh driving in city traffic 80% of the time . There was noway to keep your truck clean between the dust and ash when it was dry to the sloppy rusty muck when it was wet or snowing and Oh the flat tires yea that was a trip at least one a day or like the one day eighteen flat tires , one of the warren mills Euclid's dumps lost some of it's load of what looked like kid's jacks and every truck that drove there ended up with every tire flat . every Mobil tire service within thirty miles was called in to clear the mill of trucks with flats , to fix the problem they hauled in 57 and 304 slag to cover the affected area a foot thick. Messed up everything at both mills Youngstown had a problem with to much coke and warren did not have enough coke to feed the Furnace . They did have a stock pile but noway to load rail cars back there , they had a 988 Cat to load trucks but it could not reach over the rail cars. and they could not get straight trucks on short notice . They ended up getting me and two other semi's fixed up first and we had to run between the stock pile and the hopper till they could get caught up and trucks moving again..

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
