Here's a true story about a 2+2. It was early 80's when the local IH dealer received one 3588. They hauled this tractor all over the area to fairs and parades. This being the first 4wd tractor the dealer ever had his truck was too small. The truck was a 1700 load star with roll back bed.

The tractor sat way up in the air. The dealer took the tractor to the annual pork day parade. When he turned into the lot, The rain cap on the exhaust pipe caught a telephone wire. Everyone was yelling and waving for the truck driver to stop. The driver keep waving back and smiling. The wire finally stretched about it's limit when the rain cap came off a flew about 50 yards.
