Nothing too serious myself. A neighbor and I took Dad's pickup to Archbold Ohio to pick up something he bought at the auction. It was nasty and we had to use the wipers. The whole blade got slung off the arm on the drivers side and got lost in a ditch somewhere. We put a glove over it so I could see to drive. The throttle plate broke off the injector pump on my 85 Ford pickup one time. It happened right here at home but I had to get it to the Ford garage in another town. I clamped a pair of Vise Grips on the shaft and revved it up some. Not enough really. I could run just about 20 mph in fourth gear. I drove the shoulder but I got behind a tractor pulling a loaded gravity wagon going about 18 mph. That didn't go well.
The funniest story I ever heard about such a thing was in EJ Potter's book. He bought a 52 Chevy in California and started home with it. It spun a rod bearing. He wanted to get it home to Michigan because of the California body,so he dropped the pan and pulled the rod. Then he said it vibrated so bad that it shook the tubes right out of the radio. He stopped again at a garage. He said he cut off part of the rod and welded it to the crank to balance it best he could.
