Had a guy ask me if I would put the re-built mag back on his Oliver 80. I had never worked on an Oliver before so I timed it by removing #1 plug and finding TDC because no timing marks were visible. When it was ready to fire I told him to be very careful cranking it because I wasn't sure if it was perfectly on TDC. He wasn't a very big man so he put his foot on the front wheel, grabbed the crank with both hands and pulled. I was waiting for the crank to launch him into the next county, but luck was on our side and the old '80' fired right off. Boy was I releived. This happened at a threshing show so it would have been quite a scene if things would have gone the other way. I have only had one kick back happen to me, with a Wisconsin V4. It leaves a lasting impression!
