Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

I think I remember Turon. If its the one I'm thinking of, the trucks line up on the edge of the blacktop from both directions, and have a Chinese circus on the CB trying to figure out who is last in line, who is behind who. Also remember a big feedlot near Larned, but the biggest I was at was Ford County Feeders near Dodge City. That place was huge. The lines were long too, but I was driving their truck, so that just meant more reading time for me.

 

$2.59 - $2.64 coming across Mo yesterday but there was one station at $2.54. Got up today and the truck stop I was at went down to $2.57 overnight. $2.57 - $2.59 down through AR and MS. It looks like the price dropped quite a bit already and the stations are making up profit by letting it drop slowly.

 

Spoke too soon, $2.44 further south and most of 49 south of Jackson is at $2.37.

 

Wheathauler I'm gonna start hauling rocks thursday for a few weeks til the rice starts. Through with the Luzeanna corn. Driving a 1982 IH 2200 with a 290 Big Cam Cummins and a Spicer Super 10. Like the motor hate the tranny wish for AC. Oh well it'll make me appreciate the 9400's.

 

Guys do any of you have experience with Groeneveld greasers. Our 2 IH 9400's have them and 1 of them is empty. We've already had problems with the lines plugging to the clutch linkage and causing problems. Our mechanic put alamites in that and the throwout bearing which cured that problem. The boss isn't ready to trash it and put in all those alamites which I would personally prefer but it's his truck. OK the question- how do you refill the thing??? Cartridge or pump it full??? How do you bleed it??? Any help would be appreciated as I'm sposed to get it done.
