1st boat in 74 was the Lady Kimberly, twin 16 cylinder EMD's 4000 hp, pushed four 50x300 fuel barges from Helena, Ar to Homestead, Pa across the Monongahela River from Pittsburg, couple of times we traveled the intercostal to Texas City to load.
Switched to the Crimson Glory, twin 16 EMD's with turbo's 5000 hp pushing 25 30x150 grain barges from St Louis to New Orleans and fertilizer back, decided I'd rather paint flat deck fuel barges than pack a hundred sets of rigging to tie those 25 grain barges together so I transferred to the Mary Rose, triple 12 cylinder EMD's with turbo's 6500 hp pushing 6 50x300 fuel barges from St Louis to New Orleans, we made one trip up the Illinois River to Joliet just south of Chicago, that boat was to big for that river and the pilot ran it aground, while we were down in the hole patching the leak he ran it aground again, feeling rocks scrapping that 1/4" thick steel hull we were standing on was a bit unnerving, we were 14 ft down and 5 x braces forward of the top hatch.

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.
