[AT] Nice day in Sask.

    Ralph;
    Nice tractor Ralph. Brings back memories of high school days when I 
drove a Co=op E4 and Cockshutt 50 diesel. They were nearly new tractors 
then. Put a lot of hours on them and covered a lot of acres. These were big 
tractors in those days and pulling 3 and 4 bottom moldboard plows we could 
turn a lot of ground. Being young, the long hours were not a problem.
    I once drove the E-4 into the creek at the end of the field when the pin 
through the universal joint on the steering shaft came out. Had started the 
turn, I thought, and turned around to see if the plow had raised, and when I 
turned around, I was already going down the bank of the creek. Fortunately, 
Jim was also there with the 50 and a chain and we pulled it out after 
putting a bolt in the shaft. As far as I know, his dad never heard about 
that experience.
