Back when i was still a DOT Trooper we saw a lot of overweights. One guy in the scrap biz bought an old excavator, don't recall the brand, but it was huge and he had a scissors clamp type claw for it for tearing building and whatnot apart. His idea was that he could haul the machine into a place and load his trucks with it instead of trying to do it with a rubber tired loader. Problem was the loader truck, trailer and excavator was way over 100K and over width too! Felt bad for him but he just didn't think things through. He never gave a thought to the machines weight.
The heaviest loads I ever heard of/saw were down in NYC right after 9/11. The cops down there knew nothing about weights or oversize or anything. One of our guys kept watching loads going by of debris that were headed for one of the bridges. He finally had enough and scaled one. That rig was over 180K!!! That's 100K over the bridges weight restriction which was probably too high to start with. He turned the whole thing over to the NYPD guys but I don't know what they ever did with it. Things are different down there and they let stuff go no one else would.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
