Now, THAT brings back a back-in-the-day story.
It was a clear, cold, winter day in Connecticut and I was running low on firewood. So I loaded up my number one son in my 1956 Ford pickup and headed to this clear cut area for some firewood. The price was right, but the area was in rough terrain and the wood was mostly ugly.
(oh, I think I've told this story before ..... but. maybe Tcoat won't remember ..
)
I had loaded up the truck and was on my way out when I hit a stump and the steering felt all funny. When I got out of the truck and looked at the front end, one front wheel was going right and the other one was going left .....
So, I pulled the badly bent tie rod off and was banging on it with a large rock as it sat between two stumps. I wasn't making much progress, when a nice fellow, that lived near, offered to carry us and the bent tie rod up to his place and put a torch to it and beat it straight with a BFH.
Yep, put it back on and chugged back home.
THE END
