  1. Coles Express of Maine had the idea of putting a passenger compartment on a tractor trailer unit. Haul passengers and freight up and back from the county in the summer. l understand that the lCC would not let them do it because of the train and bus services that were available at the time. At the start of this video the oil tank on the GMC would be removed and the passenger compartment installed. Notice it has two steer axels and only one drive axel. http://www.colemuseum.org/articles/81-222/cole-city-dedication-to-progress/4 Hippy
  2. A little snowplow history from Maine. Thanks to the Coles Transportation Museum. http://www.colemuseum.org/articles/81-220/snowplow-alley/2 Hippy
  3. Macks, lf that MF is the same size as my 8N Ford without hydraulics. l've seen them use a cable and pulleys back to the 3ph to raise and lower the plow. l'm sure there are pictures on the www. somewhere of one. Hippy
  4. One in the same. My wife is from Houlton Me and we always call it being in Bangor. But Hermon is correct.........Hippy
  5. Dysarts truck stop for homemade strawberry shortcake. Then around the corner to Coles for the rest of the day. Couldn't be a better visit to Bangor....Coles has a few clips on YouTube also.....Hippy
  6. Nice purchase!..................Hippy
  7. Hobert are you loading the tricycles with 2 or 3 ramps on your trailer? l watched a guy at the Big Red show in Dublin NH load with two ramps. Now that was something to see. Hippy
  8. Looking for a decent Overnite pup trailer (road or city) to go with my MB. The closer to New England the better. Thanks Hippy
  9. l remember seeing Hendricksons in Chicago back around '78-'80. I delivered candy from Boston (Schrafft's, Doran's, Nabisco) for Polar Transport of Hanover Ma. I also have the C/J doubles from Matchbox, whats left of them. l let my son play with them way back when. Hippy

  18. Nice! l wonder what the MB would look like with one? lol Hippy
  19. No it's not just you gearhead, l've been noticing it for some time. When the wife and l are out and see a car coming without lights on we bet as to what color it is. NH tried to pass the "Wipers on Lights on" law last year but it failed as not being needed. Hippy
  20. We bought our MB in Bluefield VA just down 77 from Flat Top.
