Cold water sandwiches? Is that the same thing as "aluminum hoagies"? Ron

Ken-- You can still buy Mack "Power Gray" engine paint from the dealer. Ron

Leslie-- She's mad at you for paying so much attention to the Superdog!!! Ron

Mark We had several leased operators through the years. The guy that had the IH Emeryville started at our place with an IH sightliner then had a G-75 Mack and ended up with the Emeryville. After that he drove one of our cabover Brockways with a 318 Detroit in it . The horseshoes were made out of cast aluminum and were made for us by Belgrade Wagon Works in Philadelphia, the people who did most of our paint, body work, and trailer repairs in the sixties. A few of the horseshoes were broken and had to be repaired over the years but we only ever really lost one! During the month of August the New York Racing Association (NYRA) shifts all their racing to Saratoga Springs, NY about 30 miles north of Albany. So during the month of August we used to keep a spare tractor at a garage in Saratoga in case we had a problem. Well one night I guess someone thought it would make for a really cool souvenir and took it right off the front of #199 it was never found!! Ron

Happy Birthday, hope you have great day! Ron

Mike We put horseshoes on the H-67's but could never figure out how to put one on an H-61. We also had a lease operator with an IH Emeryville that was painted our colors and had a horseshoe mounted on it. This was a special horseshoe- it was cut into three separate pieces ---- a bottom and two sides, the bottom was fixed and the two sides tilted with the cab---only way it would work!!! Ron
