We had an old haywagon given to us, it had been a horse pulled wagon originally and the original wheels were old wooden wagon wheels. Somebody had cut them down and mounted old car rims so that it had rubber tires, but the original iron shod wooden hubs. Even with greasing the hubs good, we knew that it wasn't good for much speed. I was given a load of hay to bring in behind the pickup and even though I was going slow, one hub started smoking bad. So there I was along side the road with a burning hub threatening to set the whole wagon on fire. I only had one source of water, and it wasn't much, but it was enough to keep it from blazing. After making sure that the fire was out, I unhitched and left it there. I came in and told Dad and my uncle that I had had enough, I had told them that the wagon wasn't up to the task and trying to pull it 20 miles down the road loaded with hay was stupid. After having to put up with the expected grief (I was only 16), my uncle proceeded to go get the wagon and show me how to bring it in, since I was obviously too stupid to do it. He had lost about a 1/4 of the load to fire by the time he pulled in and we had a heck of a time saving the rest of it. That was the last time the wagon was used.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
