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 2+2 had to be loaded backwards with the nose sticking over the end.
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. Just like a giant slingshot. It bent the exhaust pipe badly.
They drove the tractor though the parade with a bent pipe. The dealer lost his IH franchise in 1987. Started selling Ford Mercury cars. Don't know what ever happened to the 3588. It was still on the Ford lot 1990. The Ford dealer been gone for twenty years.
