Old Guy-

You got the making of a good song in that description!

Tractors "raring up" on their hind wheels can be a deadly experience! Many a man has been crushed as the tractor has fallen over backwards.

My father once had to bail out of the International Harvester Cub once as he was backing it up to dump a load of rubbish over the lip of a gully. Sure enough the brakes failed and after he bailed out the tractor landed upside down below. We managed to haul it out with a larger tractor (with better brakes), hammer the steering post straight again, and she ran fine! Try that out with your new state of the art tractor,

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
