Ohio has been usen planes and Helicopters for years . Back in 73 when the new I H 4200 was put in service was when i stepped up the game of cops and robbers along with the new CB company radio came a Regency 12 channel scanner to stay up on the latest Portable scale locations since being and OUTLAW coal bucket driver with questionable hauling habits . It was not long before you found out that OH the planes used the same freq. Ohio will take a section of road usually a mile stretch and break it down into 1/4 mile sections and the plane times you thru the quarter ( bet ya did not know you were DRAG racing .) At times it made for some interesting listening . Then they started to use it to SPY on use coal buckets while loading . They first did this when the big Iron ore haul was in full swing . We were hauling iron ore pellets off lake Eire down to the mills in Youngstown , Warren and Sharron , don't ask me how many trucks as it was and endless flow up and down RT 11 off the dock up to 10 175 Michigan loaders loading non stop six and a half buckets to a load , use to be seven but they cut us back as someone got upset with us bring130000 out each trip so we had to stay under 119000 . I was loading on the last load for the day when i heard the plane telling the bear ( i have a blue one just leaving the dock now that has 6 and a half buckets on a red Mack behind him with the same as they are all loading six and a half buckets , then the bear tells the plane that they were going to set up just south of I 90 and i will call for more units just start stacking them up .I was loading for Warren and i am NOT dumping off a third of my load and set while they weigh each and every truck ain't happen . As Rt .11 is NOT the only way to Warren So i threw a curve to there game plan when i got down to I 90 i pointed it west towards Cleveland and i heard the plane call and tell them that the Cream and Yellow one had turned off and was west bound on I 90 and he was not sure where i was headed and called the post to see if he could get a unit to chase me down . They did NOT have any extra units and i kept on going west till i came up on a road that went south and it put me 30 miles away from the Circus and then went on to Warren coming in the back side . When i went thru the gate at Republic Steel the guard asked me where all the trucks went and i told him OH they will be coming sometime as the state patrol has all of them lined up just south of I 90 and weighing them . Then again in 1980 they did this down on the river in Cinnci with the trucks loading road salt off the river this time i got caught with my pants down and had to bluff my way out of that one , they did not weigh me but the guy i was running with was NOT so lucky as they got him for 15000 over . He was about the Dumbest bucket driver i had ever run with .

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
