I said we have hay down that has to be baled, so they gave me a trade in IH 400 that was in tough shape. The wheels were set way out for working beets and wouldn't fit on the truck so I roaded it home 45 miles. We didn't have phones in our neck of the woods yet so I couldn't call home for instructions and dad was pretty impressed. Four days later I headed that tractor back to town and some throttle linkage broke and I found a piece of fence wire to work till I got to a neighbors ranch (nobody home)and used his shop, tools and torch to fabricate and braze a new piece. Got that POS back to the dealer and loaded the MTA and then got it back home.
