John Deere 720 - Went For A Ride - I have been trying to get the bugs worked out this  old tractor, and was constantly taking the hood on  and off. To remove the hood you have to remove  the roll pin holding the steering shaft in the front  power steering pedestal. So after getting doing this  a bunch of times I just left it out. I had just put a  new rad in the tractor and had been running it  around the farm to see if she was gonna stay cool,  the tractor was staying cool I decided to take it for  a road test and when I got back put the tin work on  and take her to the tractor pull the next day. Well I  went down the road over a big hill got off checked  block temperature and rad temp with my heat gun.  Put her in 6th engaged the clutch started driving  down the road and it started steering for the ditch I  instantly started turning the wheel and here it  pulled out of the splines at the front. I rode it down  the ditch sheared off three trees and next thing I  know I was facing rear ward half sitting on the  decompression leaver and starter drive leaver and  the old girl was still thumping away into the trees I  pulled decompression leaver and shut it down.  Called my dad who came with a chainsaw and a lot  of chain we pulled her out and made it to the pull  the next day!
