When I was a kid dad had a 49 IH KB1 with three on the tree. When I was 8 or 9 I was riding in this pickup in the pasture with dad. Dad stopped to open a gate and told me to drive the pickup through after he opened it. He instructed me to "push this pedal on the left down, pull this lever under the steering wheel back and down, push down a little on this other pedal on the right, let the left pedal out slowly and drive through the gate opening. When you want to stop push the left pedal down and put this lever back up into neutral". When the time came to go I pushed in the clutch like I should have but I pulled the shift lever back and pushed it UP into reverse. When I let the clutch out I went flying backward with dad running after me waving his arms. I only went twenty feet or so till I pushed the clutch back in, put it in low gear and drove through the gate opening without any more problems. I can only imagine how fast dad's heart was beating! There was no muffler on this pickup so there is no need to explain how this episode sounded! LOL

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
