In Reply to: a new kind of onery posted by ericlb on February 17, 2014 at 10:24:50:

The new president of Allis Chalmers requested a tractor and loader for his English caretaker of his the country estate that he had bought. But somebody got carried away and instead of the L&G tractor/loader that they needed, they shipped an industrial tractor and loader from the Topeka factory to the MIlwaukee dealer for delivery.

The rain car came in Saturday night, so the division serviceman and I had to unload the tractor and check it out for delivery. The dealership hauled it to the country estate and unloaded. I told the Pete the serviceman to instruct the caretaker how to operate the unit while I helped the truck drive back the semi down the lane.

Obviously, the caretake had never driven a tractor. He made a loop around the drive and came back to the garage and forgot how to stop it. Fortunatly he stomped on both brakes and stalled the engine just before he would have hit the doors. The caretake asked who he should call if he needed anything, so I gave him Pete's name and phone number.

When the first snow fell, I was in the dealership when Pete came in looking mad. When I asked him why he was there (since I hadn't called him for anything) he said: "You told that caretaker to call ME if he needed anything - and I had to drive down here (Milwaukee) from Minneapolis to put on a set of tire chains!"

At least I had a good laugh out of it, even though he didn't enjoy it. I lived just 2 miles down the road from the president's estate!

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
