Awesome story....sounds like a great time to me.
The farthest I have gone is probably around the 3 mile mark ...my old neighbor had a JD 318 that was leaking oil from the front seal pretty bad.... I told him I'd pull the motor and fix it for him, but he insisted on taking it to the local JD dealer which is probably a tad over 1.5 miles from my house...He said he knows the owner..blah, blah...BUT the dealership wasn't able to come and get it for some reason. Anyhow, I offered to bring it there with my pickup for him, but just so happens the day we decided to bring it, my axle seal started leaking on my truck... I ended up dragging my neighbor on his 318 to the JD dealer with my Cub 1211. I felt kinda silly towing it all the way there..buit it was my last option to help this guy out..took time off of work to help him and everything! Should have seen the faces on the guys at the JD dealership when I pulled his 318 in there with my Cub..:biggrin2.gif:
