Not really a horror story, and was harmful only to my mental health for a couple of days.
Elderly neighbor had a JD H, that he had bought before he really knew what he needed, so it didn't get much use. He made a big production over bringing it over every haying season, and I used it to rake.
Sent the Mrs. over to rake a field about 3 miles away- it was nearly 100 degrees, and she forgot to take water. An H is flat out at about 3 MPH, not even fast enough to make a breeze. And she seemed to be gone a long time (turns out she had made about twice as many rounds as necessary, as the windrows were about 3 feet apart- a real treat to bale, as you can imagine).
When she got home, she was spittin' nails. "If looks could kill". . . She strode right past me with a glare but not a word- went straight to the fridge and got a beer, locker herself into the bathroom and took a cool bath.
I never suggested she rake with the H again, and she never offered.
BTW, she's about the best "tow-er" there ever was- she's pulled me all over the place with my junker tractors, and never an "incident" (or even a jerk start).
