My big mess was the summer of 1970 . My one buddy and i took on a contract mowing job for Teennaco (sp) to mow four lines right aways . Over some of the most nasty ground you ever want to put a tractor on . We had a 310 Case Dozer with three point and PTO and we rented a 430 Case wheel tractor and two 8 foot three point Hd brush hog We mowed hills so steep that a dirt bike could not climb . the one hill we mowed if you walked to the edge and put your toes out over it and them looked down thru your toes to see the bottom . First day we made one round with the dozer and wheel tractor and stopped , we had to make changes . On the dozer we welded two I H ft. weight brackets to the top of it and put 20 100 lb weights on it , on the 430 Case we had 12 ft. bolt on's on it Then we were somewhat ready to battle . We made up a tow cabled out of 7/16 cable with two slip hooks and i carried it on the left fender of the wheel tractor . One afternoon some how that cable started to sip down while i was going down a steep hill i had my left hand holding onto the fender when all of a sudden the fender wet flyen out of my hand and under the brush hog munching up the fender and wrapping the cable up . at the same time all this was going on my Buddy hits a rock ledge and shears the shaft stump jumper and all out of the one on the dozer.
