Friend of mine was a mechanic at the local A C dealer for many years. Their wheeled equipment used to come into Memphis (which was about 50 miles South of us on a two-lane road) on the railroad. Another railroad ran within a mile of the dealer, but he often chose to pick up the equipment (in South Memphis), drive it thru town and then the 50 miles home. Friend and set-up guy went down in bob-truck, which was what they hauled stuff on in those days, put combine header on truck and my friend started home with the combine; can't remember, it was a "F" or "C" or some such. Stopped too quickly at a red light and the combine turned up on its front end; he was sitting there at a major intersection in Memphis with the steering wheel in his stomach and his nose about 6 inches from the pavement; front windshield came out in one piece .........
