was back in about '78, dad and i had just went and got a 2 row cultivator put on a '49 jd A at a place down the road from the farm where some stuff (including the mounted cultivator) was stored, we were within sight of the house when a jeep grand cherokee went to pass us, he was too close and his front bumper caught the tire, the cultivator dug into the road and kept the tractor from flipping...just this last summer we were dropping a standing dead elm tree, was using the 1020 with the bucket raised and up against the trunk to push it over as it was being cut, well something went wrong and it ended up coming down right beside the tractor...think i'll pull trees over from now on instead of pushing them with the bucket....there was also a ealier incident in about '72/'73 with a ford 4000, a cracked manifold and a leaking gas cap...i barely remember it, and it was probly alot more frightning for dad (and mom) than it was me....this tractor had just went for fuel, was returning and as dad throttled down it backfires...as gas spills over the side of the tank from the gas fill...it burned the short rubber section of the fuel line and then the fire was fed with 15 gallons of gas...i dont remember the fire trucks, i do remember being carried to the house...and i remember when the parts came in, i kept running off with them, mainly the steering wheel! i would have been 2 or 3 at the time....
