Yup. Seen farmer patches before.
That one's scary. Brakes are scarier.
Ever seen a rear axle replaced 300 miles from home, they dragged out of a pig sty...seriously....brakes? Nah. Cut the brake hose, jammed a PENCIL in the cut off hose and clamped it.
A YEAR later I get called to look at it because it doesn't stop so good.
