Yes I've told this story before but will tell it again. Back in the 40s my dad ran some land about 6 miles from his home place. He picked ear corn with a 1936 model B JD. single row New Idea picker. He got a old car rear end and hooked it to pto just like your story. He could then pull two flare box wagons empty to the other farm. Did not hve enough power to pull them loaded but at least he made good time when empty. I'm told that would go 25 mph. The funny story that was told was to keep rear end from bouncing he fastened an old wheel barrow box on top and put a couple cement blocks in. Then he had a dog that would jump up in there and ride out to field and back. Well one day a jack rabbit pops out of the ditch and the dog jumps out of the front of the box to get it so gets run over by the trailer and both axels of both wagons and rolls dead into the ditch. After pa gets that whole contraption stopped he decides to load the dead dog into box and continue out to field, pick his two loads and bury dog when he gets back home. To his surprise when he gets to field the dead dog hops out of the box and follows the picker just like he always did. Tuns out he wasn't dead at all just must have been stunned. For years after Pa and my uncles would laugh about how his dead dog hopped out of that box. Anyway shortly after hwe put a Behlan drive on the B and built a trailer on that old Chrysler rear end. I still have that trailer.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
