I've done so many dumb things, I'm not even going to go there!! Do have a mishap to report here though. Was back probably 25 years ago, had the 49 John Deere G parked at the other place with the three bottom mounted plow on it. Had finished plowing one evening, and it rained that night, so didn't go after it for a couple days. Had a little time before dinner one day so had my wife take me to get it. Figured by the time I'd drive it 10 miles home dinner would be almost ready. I jumped up on the tractor, hit the starter and she came to life. I hit the powr-trol lever to raise the plow and without even looking back was in gear and headed for the road. All was going well and I was a few miles toward home when I slowed down for a short plank bridge probably twice the length of the tractor and plow. It was a little rough going on it, and apparently the plow hadn't raised to the full raised position, because I heard and felt something, and when I turned and looked, the back bottom of the plow had caught the first plank, and it and everyone all the way across the bridge were standing up on edge. I stopped and got my trusty claw hammer out and spent the next 45 minutes getting them layed back down. I didn't want to leave to get help for fear someone would come over the hill and hit it. It was too much a task for the little hammer, but I did get them back flat again. Went home and called the county and told them they had a bridge needing repaired. Only damage on my end was the beam to the back bottom for some reason was in two pieces.
