We had quite an adventure with a '55 Buick Super when I was about 16. Went on a trip, and the rear end gave out about 200 miles from home. Got towed to a junkyard/repair shop in Ephrata, Washington. Buicks had a torque tube driveline, and the owner of the yard knew that there were different lengths of torque tubes depending on the model. So we measured it up, and removed a replacement torque tube/rear end of the right length from one of the cars. Tried to put it under our car, and rear end was too narrow. Found one under a Roadmaster that was wide enough, but torque tube was too long. So we ended up changing out the gears in ours. By the time we were done, about 5 hours had elapsed. Mom made stew on the camp stove in his shop for everyone. I was most impressed by the owner's son- he was dressed to go out, but his dad said "We could sure use your help on this, son"- kid changed his clothes and helped through the whole ordeal, in good spirits and with nary a whimper. My dad paid $50 more than was asked.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
