Mike: Got 2 or 3 good ones. Had a wagon load of hay get away in the yard once, was headed fot two Pontiacs and an Olds. Dad saw it coming from seat of Farmall 300. He was in 4th gear and was able to let it hit rear wheel of 300 side on, and before it got rolling very fast. Silage wagon parked at silo, had been there about a week since finishing filling silo. Our children pestered Marg. until she took them swimming at park. I was in barn milking, rain, electrical storm and wind blew up, I heard a crash. Looked out and silage wagon tongue had hit concrete doorstep of house. Wagon was parked right in spot where new Olds would have been, had Marg. not taken children swimming. Last one, my brothers first load of hay with bale thrower. One of the early New Hollands with Briggs engine thrower. The long cable control for throttle was less the ideal. 84 bales on the wagon, close to 200 on the ground and one bale on top of the multi wire telephone lines along the highway. My cousin (New Holland dealer) has that on vidio. Frank gave thrower a bit more throttle under telephones lines and bale went up between wires and came to rest crossways on top of wires. Bet that one caused a comotion on the party line.
