Simpsom 3.2 fire suit from the 70's

Brings back a memory of 2 of my older brothers around ages 6-10 playing on one of grandpas combines.....they got it to start up, diesel smoke and the exhaust flapper scared the piss out of them so they both leaped from the seat in an instant. Pretty high up for both of them. Then they ran like the wind. Grandpa saw it too and was rolling. One of his favorite stories.
 
In the late 60’s my cousin was jumping over what is called a maltave cocktail? Gas in a bottle with a rag wick (I wasn’t there) hopping over the flame back & forth then it blew, burned his legs bad enough for a short stay in the Hosp, he also lit a field on fire and was underneath a bed trying to smoke a cig and caught the bed on fire, luckily our uncle was around and got it under control, I missed all this but I asked him WTH we’re you thinking? he smiled, guess he was just a fire bug
 
These days $50 for shipping isn't much. Used to be a whole lot cheaper, but you know prices always go up. Shit, I remember when postal stamps were $0.08 to send a letter, and now they are going up to $0.73.
