Does not sound like fun at all ! You'll probably get all kinds of comments on the tree felling incident ;), but these things can happen with the best laid plans !
The foot is a complex part of the anatomy, something to be cognizant of while working as foot injuries, (as you just experienced) can be complicated. I had an 18' post fall on mine and that as well as being stepped on by a big ole fat mare, seemed to have contributed to a ganglion cyst that formed into something like a wavy 3/8" fuel line, intertwined in the works at along the top of the foot, as well as being deeply rooted. Its bone lubricant in a sack, for some reason the body can over compensate for something like this as I understand part of it, the other part is arthritis, per what the doctor and surgeon told me when done. Its taken years for that foot and the leg to get back to normal, reason I mention this is a reminder about the things we do now, and potential problems later, work smart and work safe is all I can say ! Also good you did not suffer any worse injury. Lately I've cut or felled with a partner, we've been taking down more dangerous trees, (well where they could fall) by attaching a line, and leaving just enough hold wood to get out of its path and just pull them over, some have a good lean to them and no place or danger to fall. I do like being away from them, but there are some where you need some wedges and have to be near just the same.
Don't know much about that IH, looks like a mower conditioner. I'd check out the works to see why its tossing a chain, see if its requiring a major repair, that would be highly annoying.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
