I loaded up the WD on my flatbed trailer and forgot about the hand clutch.I decided to drive the truck and trailer around the yard putting my truck in a better location to tie it down and load my weights.As I started uphill I felt a bump and looked back to see the old Allis rolling off right towards a 20 ft bluff.I sidestepped the clutch and killed the truck and started running back.When I got to it(while running along side,thank goodness it was a narrow front)I noticed it was still in gear so I grabbed the gearshift and nabbed second.By this time she was rolling very fast backwards and right before the dropp off I snatched the hand clutch and she came to a screeching halt.As I took a big breath I looked around to see if anyone seen it happen and all I seen was my little girl(Katie)standing there staring at me.She thought I was just playing around,she never comprehended what had happend.That AC had a foot clutch and a hand clutch that snapps in and out.Ever since I ALWAYS throw a strap or chain on even if I just drive across the road.I haven't told that story in a while.Later fellas
