Back in about 1960 we were in the middle of cotton harvest in Texas. I drove up to the cotton gin one day and some of the gin crew was in a panic. There was at least 30 or 40 loaded cotton trailers on the gin yard waiting to be ginned off. They discovered smoke coming from one of the trailers. I backed up real quick and hooked to the trailer and pulled it off the gin yard and about a quarter mile down the road. In my wild youthful wisdom it dawned on me that I decided to try to overturn the trailer snd try to save the trailer. After several tries I discovered it was a lot harder to over turn a loaded trailer than I thought. Then it dawned on me that if I over turned the trailer it would twist the hitch and I couldn't get the hitch pin out and it would burn my truck also. So I pulled the trailer off the road and let it burn.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
