I got a 15,000 pound forklift stuck at work, doing a "government job" and knew I would catch the devil for it if I didn't get it out. A pair of 8K forklifts with a ton on the forks for ballast wouldn't budge it, so at midnight everyone except me gave up. A fellow worker had a brother with a JD450 parked nearby but the keys were gone. I tried every key on my ring and my '66 Chevy key worked. I chewed some pretty good ditches with those tracks, but finally got it out. Parked the dozer back where it came from and never said a word. Week or so later I asked my worker if the dozer was ok after my use and he said his brother was hot when he saw the grooves but couldn't figure out how the dozer got moved, so after a full inspection, he just forgot it. I told him to tell him thanks cause it sure got me out of a bind! Years later, I was able to do the dozer owner a favor, and didn't hesitate doing it. He never knew it was me.
