One time I made the horrendous mistake of parking the David Brown Case 885 in high gear. When I got back to where I had parked it, it was gone. My brother William and I followed the tracks. It had gone down the hill, crashed through a stone wall, gone down a steeper hill narrowly missing some trees, gone some distance on level ground, going right through rose bushes, and stopped against a big hemlock tree. I went back to the house to say I'd wrecked the tractor. My father was some distance farther spreading fertilizer. While I was telling him I'd wrecked the tractor, William was driving it back.

The lights hadn't worked anyway, but I put the bulbs back in. The tractor runs right now without any work done.
