As I consider buying my neighbor's John Deere B, my wife is terrified that if I get this thing, it is going to tip over on me and kill me. I am interested in this tractor because I have always wanted a JD 2 cyl, and this is a fine specimen at a great price, and will be a great restoration project. I have never driven a tricycle tractor, so I don't have a feel for how stable they are. Can you tell me what the dangerous maneuvers are? For example, is it possible to tip it on level ground if you are going at a moderate speed and rapidly turn the wheel? I can certainly see how if you were going downhill and turned quickly, especially downhill diagonally. I plan to use this tractor on level ground for moderate lifting and hauling and trailer pulling.
