Too many years ago to count, I read Alexander Bolts stories in the Saturday Evening Post. Nothing against Joe E. Brown; he played the character that the directors and producers wanted to produce. But, the stories in the S.E. Post were infinitely more interesting to me than this flicker. Alexander Bolts was meant to be a believable salesman. And the thinly disguised International, i can't remember the name they gave it, Inter continental or something, was as bad and the Earthworm was good, and the other guys were a bunch of con men. Whole different story line. I'd recommend a bit of reading for anyone interested. Those stories were really fun. They took the form of a series of communications between the Earthworm Co. and Mr. Botts. What ever became of the Post, anyway?
But, thanks for attaching the video. It's not really half bad, just different with less action on the part of the Earthworm Tractor!

I remember giving my son a ride on our 75 and stop and say "looks pretty wobblily up ahead Mr. Johnson, I think we'd better go back!" he would yell "no no! go ahead! go ahead!" we just looked at each other and laughed.
