Anybody that has run tractors nearly their whole life has no doubt had a close call or two. I remember one time I roll started an H farmall with 12 V battery and no battery box. Battery slid a little. Smoke came up from under gas tank. Got off to look. Positive post of battery was in contact with gas line. Gas line was glowing red hot. Not thinking, I pulled battery away. Luckly, it did not melt a hole in gas line. Could of been really bad with me standing right there if it melted through. Another time I was driving a low profile tractor that was hot wired (key switch by-passed). Hit a high cut tree stump in tall grass right on the clutch pedal. Couldn't clutch out of gear or shut tractor off. Using my head, I just idled down to idle and pulled the choke to kill the engine. Anyways, if you have a close call story to share please do and be careful this farming season. I seen a spray rig after it got hit by a train the other day. I think the guy was luckly just injured. Don't need to see any more postings on here about fatality accidents.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
