	I was just commenting to my son at the Portland IN show (330 IH tractors
 there if I recall the numbers correctly) about all of those platforms. I was wondering 
how many board feet of lumber went into all of those platforms if they were all 
totalled up.   <(^¿^)>   Probably the trees of a good sized woods.
	An older fellow here that did custom work with an F-30 had a Behlen road gear on 
his. He said one day he had a friend riding on the platform going down the road. The 
friend inquired about those cables attached to the brakes. He said he explained about
 the brakes and cultivating corn. He then slowed way down and turned the wheel all the
 way to the left (empty road). He said that the brake locked and the governor kicked in
 and around they went. He always swore that they went around 3 times before he got
 it stopped. He said he never tried that again...   <(^¿^)>
