Be careful out there. I was a young teen and my dad had me disking with an International 350 (with the battery under the seat). This tractor normally has two bolts to hold a lid down on the top of the battery box, but this tractor only had one bolt. The seat hinges so that if the battery box is not secured, it will throw you off the back. Sure enough, the one battery/seat bolt came out one time just as I let off the clutch and it almost dumped me off the back - right under that big wheel disk. I had the disk in the ground, so I really had to get on it to keep the tractor from bogging, so it came out of there with some speed, too. I got lucky and held on with two fingers and one hand at the steering wheel. Could have really messed me up. I know a kid back home in Western Kentucky that fell off a tobacco setter when he was young and I believe the setter ended up running over him somehow and broke his pelvis bone. BE CAREFUL, PEOPLE! --Steve
