Several years ago, I was leaving the old threshers show at Antique Acres, north of Cedar Falls, Iowa. A light rain had come up and left, dampening everyone's spirits at the end of the show day. There was much hurrying to get to cars, etc..
On my way to my car I saw a fellow with a JD G unstyled puller loading. He had a single axle flatbed (no tilt) truck with three fairly wide planks (like bridge planks, maybe?) about 12-16 feet long lined up for the tricycle tractor and I saw him give the old G full throttle and charged up those plants a good speed. The front wheels were nearly at the top, on the truck deck, when his rear wheels started spinning on the planks. He quickly declutched and let the tractor roll down the planks backward and out onto the grass for quite a way, then engaged the clutch and charged at the planks again, this time with enough speed to get onto the truck deck and jam on the tractor brakes.
What if that spinning tractor half way up happen to slide side ways off the planks? The rig was at least 3-4 feet off the ground at the rear wheels.
He hurriedly chained the tractor down and took off for home before more rain came.
