I was on the case board and the subject of farm safety came up. I know we've all done things then looked back and thought "WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKIN?" Would like to here your experiences.
Here's mine: Had a 7700 jd combine with a problem with the hydro. To pull it you have to take off the drive wheel. So I jack it up, pull the wheel and remove the hydro. After it's fixed I replace it. Did it wrong the first time so had to do it again. Did it wrong the second time too (you're shocked right?). So as I'm getting ready to pull it for the third time I have my "oh boy" thought, that thing has been sitting on a hydraulic jack while I lay under it to remove that. Wow, how lucky was I?. Well this time I do it right, jack it up and get my 6x6s and stack up a nice bridge underneath, even leave the jack under with no presure for extra safety. After I remove the wheel bolt and break the wheel loose the combine shifted, fell off the jack and bridgeing. The platform came down on my head knocking me out. I woke up with a bloody nose and fat lip laying in the wheel with the combine platform resting on the tire. Guess I came close to dead that day. I did get the hydro fixed and back in tho.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
