I was burning down an old shed one winter, a wall wanted to fall outward so I drove the old Case 600 up to it with plans of using the blade on it to give the wall a nudge in the right direction.
The heat from the fire had melted enough snow that my wheels were basically on solid ice with a slight downhill toward the fire.
As soon as I touched the brake the tractor slid forward and the front wheels jumped the foundation wall preventing me from being able to back up.
Instantly the heat was beyond unbearable so I was jumping off and I do mean right now, as I was jumping off I thought to hit the hand clutch as I really had nothing to loose at that point.
The 600 was in first gear so it had no problem driving right through the burning building, when it came out the other side it was half covered in burning wood and shingles, I caught up to it, got the clutch released and proceeded to pull off the burning lumber.
Other than burning up some wiring and the headlights it survived but took forever to clean all the soot off of it.
