They did that demonstration at the county fair, in the mid 50,s at Bellefontaine Ohio.
 They started the show with a truck that wouldnot start , that had to be moved. Two guys on a JD B , came around and backed up to the truck. One guy got off the tractor and hooked the chain, and the other guy started to pull the truck.  And then all of a suddent the tractor upset and killed the guy on the tractor, that is what we thought.
   The guy on the tractor was a stuffed dummy and the tractor was controled by a rope by the guy that hooked the chane.  They also did a roolover, when they hit a bump on a fast turn,.  Also the stuffed dummy went to pices when he got his pant leg in a pto shaft.

In the mid 50's I was filling my diaper. Still would like to have seen it, but I probably wouldnt have remembered it.
sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"
