I'm a firm believer in annual inspections on all farm trucks that are run on the road. In western Kansas I saw a 60's something Chevy tandem loaded with wheat plow into the back of another truck that had slowed down for our wide loads as we met these two trucks on a highway. The back truck driver was waving out the window to the front truck because he didn't have any brakes. It happened right beside me. Made a big WHUMP sound and then the two trucks were past me. The two trucks started coming at me at impact but got straightened out at the last moment. Wheat flew out of the box of the back truck and over the cab. I looked in the mirror and saw two trucks locked together with smoke and steam and wheat spreading out over the road. I know what getting the sh!! scared out you feels like because I had to go pretty bad after that one.
Last fall a neighbor called me over to replace a rusted brake line on his 70's something C70 tandem grain truck. It had a double hydra vac setup and when I bled the brakes the hydra vac for the tag wouldn't bleed. No fluid came out. I'm no expert by any means when it comes to hydra vacs but I know fluid should come out when I crack the line. He didn't act concerned about it. I WAS concerned and told him my Kansas story but he didn't want to interrupt harvest to get it fixed. I did all I could do and left. Jim
