One of my biggest combine fears happened today

I have always been worried when we are on the major roads with one of my combines that we will have a breakdown. We started a 20 mile move to another field today with the combine my father runs for me and wound up on the side of a major two lane road 15 miles from home with injector pump problems.The combine was running good and all of a sudden it lost governor control,lost power and started skipping and vibrating bad enough it slung another fan blade off while my father was trying to get to a fairly good place to get off the road.I drained the injector pump oil and found lots of metal and aluminum in it.He was able to get it off the edge of the road just far enough to be out of the lane before she quit all together.Spending a beautiful Friday afternoon on the side of the road with semi trucks and lots of traffic zooming past while I hurredily change the injector pump was not what I had planned.I look back now and thank God that it didnt happen about two miles further down the road which would have put him right under the main red light in town.I am also so glad that I had another good pump ready to go and that I am blessed with the ability to fix my machines myself.I have always thought about what I would do in this situation---Now I know!
