No one was hurt, thank god.. but we were left with a delima..
...how do you get a Farmall Super M with a mower deck out of the bottom of a 8 foot ditch with 4 foot of water?
Wrap a chain around the axle, then the other end around the frame of a 59 year old 2 ton chevrolet truck, put it in gear and press gas pedal accordingly.
The '46 also works nicely for pulling the tractor up a steep grade hill, too.. all with a full load of junk in the grain bed.
Stock 235, stock rear, stock everything.. that old truck might not get you anywhere fast, but it will get you (and whatever it is you load her down with) there.
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

I am about of the mind that there ain't nuthin' one of these ol' Big Bolt trucks cain't do, if they want to.
Treat 'em nice, love 'em to death, and as Joker sez, just drive 'em.
So where did your son find water in Western Nebraska?
Drivin' down a 2 lane country road in a stovebolt.....cowboy, it don't get no better than this!
