One other time sticks in my mind too. It wasn't but about twenty miles of driving,but what a drive. My cousin and I went to Archbold (150 miles) with a half ton pickup and single axle trailer to get an Oliver 88 and mounted picker. We found out quick it wouldn't fit with the picker on it. We took it off,loaded the tractor and got about 30 miles from home. Blew a tire,put the spare on and made it another 10. By now it was dark,so we unloaded,left the trailer in a cemetary and I drove with no fenders or lights with him tight bahind me in a 66 Chevy pickup. We had to go down about a half mile long hill in to the south side of Ionia,no passing lane,we had cars lined up half way to I96. How in the world we made it home 20 miles in the dark without being arrested or killed,I still haven't figured out. Ah..to be young and fearless again.
