When I think back I can come up with nine tractor rollovers that I know of that happened in my area in my lifetime. All of them on flat land. Three of the drivers did not make it out alive. One that did not make it was a classmate and friend of mine. Another was a neighbor a mile and a half away. I was involved with helping pull the driver out from under one of those tractors. I was fifteen at the time and scared so bad I had to sit down. The driver was alive at the time but passed away that night. All of these tractors except for one had a narrow front. Two had loaders.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
