Ive tog a 48 Cub among others, and I had heard of an old man getting killed on his and his daughter (i think) was selling the cub, and I wondered how the heck he could get killed on a Cub. One day, I stopped the tractor, (still running tho), had my foot on the clutch, and it in, grabbed hold of the steering wheel, reached down with the right hand and put it on the right wheel and started to swing off. The clutch engaged, the wheel went forward with my hand on it, which went down with my body fgollowing. All that saved me was I instenctivly held tight with my left on the steering wheel, and pushed back the clutch. Id bet the older gentleman did the same thing, but he paniced maybe, or might not even had his hand on the steeringwheel, and went down and she went over. Its sad, when youve been doing somthing for 50+ yrs and slow down, so it seemes like youve got to be constantly going just to keep up. And sooner or later, just one thing forgotton, and your gone. But then, like somone else said, it somwhat beats slow cancer, or nurseing home
