The road next to me has hills we call "the 7 Hills"..
When I was in my early teens, I took 2 flat-bed wagons full of ear corn over them..
Idled over the top and layed on the brakes all the way down and that JD "B" was poping and back-firing and over-reving but we got to the bottom of the biggest one..THEN starts what I remember MOST..!!
Those JD "B" of ours always had straight Pipes and I hit that 1st ( biggest) Grade with ALL she had..and she started to raise Hel?..!!!
( This B I still have and was bored + 180" in about 1958)
I never thought it would pull those 2 loads over that one, without going to 2ns if I ever had to stop...BUT,,
About 1/2 way up that hill, the rhythm of the engine reached that one spot where the FRONT of the tractor was bouncing up with every power stroke..!!
Made it over like a Champ and still in 6th gear..!!
Boy I bet those people that lived there would remember that...( and it was NOT the only time we traveled that way)..
