Just saw a picture in the stuck and troubled and it got me sort of upset. Come on guy you all know you should never let kids play on a tractor and if its one that the starter will turn the engine over you should NEVER park it in gear. Shoot you should never park them in gear any how to easy to froget and try to start in with out being on it and then some one or something gets hurt. Please guy remember to park them out of gear and on flat ground, or lock the brakes don't use the tranny to hold them. I see to many people hurt because of this being done

I remember at 4 or 5 I jumped onto the 2010 wide front with a loader and knocked it out of gear, rolled down the driveway a bit, did not scare me a bit, but I did not go very far, no beating either LOL.

Hired help while spreading manure, put the same tractor on the 2nd floor of our old hay barn, I still to this day cannot believe that the tractor was up on the 2nd floor with the manure spreader hanging off the back, no damage to either and not exactly sure how dad got it down. I live up on the hill that over looks where the barn was, you certainly could get enough speed. That old mortise/tenon barn was built to the hilt, studs were 4" x 4"s beams 12" x 12" joists 4" x 8"'s - etc. made a nice hole in the back of it, I still remember seeing this, if I didn't I don't think I'd have believed it.

Hummm...dad had to park the old M on a hillside to start it. Had to leave it in gear...the brakes were shot.
Never had even fair brakes on a tractor until he got the 450D...and until I fixed them this last year they weren't the best.
I do infact agree with your statement about safety OLD. But ya know...there is a difference in a farm kid growing up with a piece of iron and a city kid coming to visit. Kids that are not around this stuff all the time should not be around it unless an adult is around.
Dad always took the coil wire off the M and shoved it under the pad on the seat...at least it would not start if it rolled.

Very true if the kids are around them all the time its one thing they have learned to run them but now days it seems theres a lot of people with tractors and they them selfs are city people and don't know how to make a tractor work the way it should they just like to old iron and need to be remined that safty first no after some one gets hurt

What?

Heck, if my dad hadn't parked that old M in gear I nerver would have learned to drive out across that beet field at the tender age of 5.

Scared my mom more than it did me. :>)

The grandchildren have been around a lot lately. Had to get in the habit of removing the keys from all the equipment....

Yep and depending on the tractor its a good idea to unhook the battery cable so the starter will not turn over. On the fords and allises that can be a problem since they don't need the key in them to turn the engine over and little hands love to be in the and on the wrong things
