Know I've told this story elsewhere (my wife is sick of it, so I'll look for other victims). When I was 10 or 11, I would drive a tractor anytime, anywhere, just to be doing it. Listen to this for stupidity. I actually volunteered to help our hired man to shovel the manure out of the barn (about a four-hour job by hand), in the middle of winter, just so I could spread the manure. He probably sat around the barn thinking "What a stupid kid." Well, one winter day when the ground was covered with a few inches of snow, I roared out to a field (rubber-tired F-12 with the two narrow front wheels; the steering post was a single vertical casting) and was whistling dumb and happy when THUMP! the front of the tractor just dropped about two feet, nearly threw me over the steering wheel, then moved forward a foot or two and stalled. I had dropped the front wheels into a sinkhole (probably a collapsed underdrain--my grandfather had drained a lot of the fields this way). I slunk back to the barn, and said to my father, "I just broke the front wheels off the tractor." He didn't say a word, just went to the dealer and bought another steering post. I can remember this like it was yesterday. Why can't I remember where I put my keys ten minutes ago?
