last time i saw that tractor was end of June 1966 and i do not remember the model number of it i think it was a 1960 model the Mack was a 57 B model engine was was and industrial cummins like what was in a couple Cranes/ Shovels way bigger then what was in normal trucks . at that time in my life it was all about drag racing and not truck engines . Driving truck was a necessary evil that went with my job . with being one of the full time employee's i wore many hats . First off i was and operating engineer , Next on the list was mechanic / Welder /machinist/ mexican drag line operator / Grade man / farm hand /go fetch this or that parts runner/ powderman/ and at the bottom of the list lowboy truck driver . I drove the B61 Mack that pulled the 50 ton Rodgers Lowboy , i would haul what ever up to 100000 lbs John my boss drove the Autocar, Willis drove the White Mustang with the 35 ton Rodgers and Jessey drove the other White Mustang with the other 35 ton . When i first started driving the Mack it was a gas burner with a big 6 cylinder and here again i don't know much about that one i just know it got 3.5 MGP and a 150 gallon did not take you far . About a year after i started driving it we did and engine swap to a 711 with a turbo with the fuel turned up . I knew Detroits as to size and Hp. back then only because i learned how to work on them . I could work on Cats of the time Allis Chalmers and The old gas start I H diesels and the Detroits but never got into Cummins till i owned my own .

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. 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
