    Yeah, we had one of those when I was at NAS Corpus Christi and it was the only one on base with the Hemi. The "governor" was a 5/16" bolt "calibrated" as a throttle stop to limit top speed to 30mph in high. Funny thing, that bolt kept getting bent to the side.... We got one of the Anhauser Busch "Eagle" stickers, a bald eagle in flight with about 24" wingspan superimposed over the "A" for Anhauser and stuck it on the back panel between the tail/brake lights. It was known as "Super Tractor" all over the base Stayed there for about a month before word came down from the flight ops one day to "get that beer advertisement off of that tractor." Tried to tell them it was "A" for America, but ended up peeling it off in pieces....

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
