I mentioned I drove a MM in 1952. That was a couple of years after my dad went bankrupt, lost most of the farm and was trying to get back on his feet. Went to work for another guy, sort of a "non-farmer" that had land and equipment. The 1st day I drove the MM Z, I was driving toward a deep irrigation ditch maybe 2 or 3 feet wide. Stomped on the clutch to stop, of course it wasn't there. Stomped again, finally remebered at the last second that it had a hand clutch. If the front wheels would have dropped in that ditch, since it had near vertical banks, I believe the front end would have broken off, my dad would have been fired, and the rest would have been history. Yes the clutch had to lock in place, but if moved accidentally the tractor would move, and could cause an accident -- however, even at 14 years old, I was careful, and never had that happen -- just something to think about.
