Cousin and I bought our first combine 140 miles from home in 1976. Drove it home with the bean head on it, with the two-row corn head in the back of my pickup. Left home after the morning milking, I had a sub for the evening, but he did not. I was some distance behind him in the pickup when the fuel pump failed, pulled into a farmer's yard at Fairfax, Mn. Told him the situation, he said take my pickup, catch up to your cousin so he can get home for milking. I got the combine home that night at 10:30, went back the next day and fixed my truck. He wouldn't take anymore than gas to fill his truck. Lloyd Hindeman was his name- said he understood since he used to milk cows too. Enjoyed visiting him a few years later when I was in the area. How many folks in a city would do that for anyone?
