Oh the 20-C harvester. My father rented a 20-C to fill our silo in 1974 when the local custom operator became ill. I was running the machine with a 574. A fresh set of knives was installed the second morning by the owner. Late in the afternoon, after working all day, I shut off the PTO and jumped off the tractor to unhitch the wagon. The over running clutch permits the flywheel to freewheel; taking about four minutes to stop. For as yet an undetermined reason, as I bent down to remove the wagon hitch pin, the knife cover opened, hitting me squarly in my face. Long story short, I lost an eye. That was the hand I was delt. I farmed for 26 years fulltime after that, But could not do close work like weld or hammer a nail or pour milk into coffee because I have no close depth perception. Main problem is that it is hard to drive down Main street with one eye on traffic and one on the females...
