Since you've got some good advice now I'll share a story.
I was 16 and spending the summer out at the farm. Granddad took Grandma somewhere for the weekend and left me alone. Well kind of, I'd made nice with a waitress at the Town and Country Cafe, but anyway. Was kind of a big deal to be alone and "in charge" of the farm. A big sow died and when Grandad called Saturday morning to check on things he told me to haul it out to where the dead things go. Got the H out with the loader on it, scooped her up and headed up the hill. About halfway up I drove through a rut and something snapped, can't remember what, maybe the same part you broke, but the steering wheel just spun round and round. I didn't know what to do, was kinda scared to tell Grampa, so just parked it right there, as they would be back the next day.
That hill is right in front of the house so he saw it as he drove in. As he got out of the car he gave me a funny look so I told him what happened, and waited for him to get mad. But he just started humming, like he did some, and walking towards the tractor, I went along. He jumped on, told be to ride along, and drove it through the pasture with the brakes. Just smiled at me like he was pulling off some neat trick. I thought he had to be about the best farmer that ever lived, and most certainly the best Grampa. Didn't bother him that I'd broken something, even though I felt bad to add to his work load. He said as much stuff as my uncle's had broken over the years he was pretty used to it. Sure do miss him.

If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
