My brother was going to teach me to drive this tractor when I was about 8. Grandpa had a bum leg from a case of blood poisoning after he cut it with an axe while chopping wood as a young man. He welded a pipe to the clutch pedal and used a smaller pipe in it as a hand clutch. As I remember it my brother said to hit the brake, so I did. The sudden stop cause him to lose the hand clutch lever. POPPING the clutch caused me to lose the right brake pedal and the tractor did a left 90 degree turn. We were parking it in the garage at the time. The 64 chev took a hit in the front door. We don"t know how two old people got down to the garage so fast. That was about so wild as I ever saw Gramma. My brother hide in the barn.
