Working for a Case dealer. Got in a new 4894 4x4 tractor. Boss said go unload it. It came in on a double drop low-boy. Driver backed it up to the dock. He had come thru an ice storm so everything was ice covered. I fired it up, put it in the lowest reverse, and started backing up. The rear end made it up the back trailer drop OK, then the front wheels started up. About 1/2 way up, the ice took over, and I slid back down on the trailer, ended up with one front wheel on the ground, rest still on the trailer. When I got out of the cab, Boss wanted to know if I wanted to go home and change my pants. I said no, but you might wanna order a new steering wheel, as my finger prints were permanently imbedded in it. They called a big wrecker to get it back on the bed, then had wrecker winch it off the trailer. In hind sight, I should have done one of two things.....should have throwed in forward and finished driving off the side of the trailer OR waited about 2 hours for all the ice to melt off.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
