Anytime that I tried to race that old H Farmall...the frontend would start shimmying. I haven't heard anyone mentioning it...but it was a way of life with them. And speaking of a Massey Harris 44...we were baling hay in a 75 acre bottom field down Pigeon Roost Road out of Hillsboro, Ohio and there was Wendell Richards with his little Ford 8N and myself with a Massey 44 (with a string on the governor) hauling from the field to the barn to the old Faris Hughes farm up on rt. 73 (about 2 miles). Unloaded Wendell, then me, and started down the road to the field. Caught up with Wendell going down the big hill...he was looking out from under the umbrella on his tractor for an airplane as the 44 had no muffler. I was standing on both brakes with all the weight 13 years would give me...and the corn plows on the Massey were bouncing in and out of the gravel. What a sight when Wendell finally turned around and seen me and the Massey coming at him about 30 mph on a one lane gravel road. He whipped that old Ford right in the ditch just in time for me to come roaring by...tractor a roarin...and gravel a flyin...and eyes as big as saucers...needless to say, when I got to the field the string on the governor was history. They don't go well with mechanical brakes and 13 years old. Thats been 49 years ago and for some reason...I can still see the look on his face. Fred OH
