I have done it but not that way . I had a big open field and started towing the stubborn tractor . Once I got headed the right direction I got off the pulling tractor and then got on the pulled tractor and did the pull start . Once it smothed out I took it out of gear and then got off it and walked up the the front tractor and got on it and turned the pair around and started heading for home . This was all done in low gears and not very fast . Some times you can run into more trouble when you get help that dosnt know what they are doing or panic . I heard about a couple of volunteer's at a local museum that tried to tow start a old McCormick deering 15-30 . They towed it and got it to start but for some reason the clutch didn't disengage when he shoved the pedal down -- the front guy stopped and the guy on the 15-30 tried to steer around him but the lugs on the steel wheel caught on the back of the front tractor -- it climbed up on the back of the tractor with one wheel and almost flipped sideways . About then the clutch disengaged -- or he pulled the gear shift to neutral -- or the motor stalled --- some thing saved them . This is why I put electric start on my 15-30 . I put a ring gear on the belt pully and mounted a starter under the fuel tank . It is just too big of an ugly cuss to start at times especially when you have back problems . They do start very easily at times but not all the time -- it dosent argue with the electric starter .

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
