I think we could make this a "Best Seller" book. On the dumb things we do.
Here's mine, It was my sister's 1st time on driving the hay-baler she was 15 and I was 17 yrs. old. She came upto a big wad of hay so she pushed in the the clutch on are 700 case w/livepower and stopped. Well there was a little slop on the clutch peddle. So when she had pushed in the clutch she some how had pushed the clutch pass the stop. When she went to let the clutch out it just stayed there. She motion-en to me to come off the hay wagon to help her figure out the problem. Well I walked in front of the rear tire and saw that the foot clutch was on the otherside of the stop. So with both hands I grabbed the clutch pulled back to get it on the other side of the stop. NOT THINKING! I released the clutch!! Well the old case was still in gear! The tractor was at about 3/4 to full trottle. When I released the clutch that old case jumped forward and I went down in front of the rear tire "sis" pushed that clutch back in real fast. Other then shaken by my stupidity I was alright! But my sister was so upset she retired from driving tractors for about 3 years!!! To this day she can still see the expression on my face when I let go of that clutch!! It still scares her today.I new better!! I was mad at her for getting the clutch stuck, I wanted to get the hay in plus I wanted to show my big brothers and Dad I could load wagons. I was in a hurry......Thank the good lord that my sister had the presents of mind to push that clutch in. Or we wouldn't of never known that I could load hay wagons as good as my Dad and older brothers. After my sister stopped crying I gave a big hug and said "that was a close one". All though I did have other close calls on farm equipment after that but that one is stuck in my for ever!
