This one didn't get me whipped, just screamed at. I had heard people talk about how easy it was to crank an "H" John Deere by just kicking the flywheel with their foot. So one day when dad was repairing one,I climbed up in the seat and after a few minutes, it got the best of me and I had to try it, stretched far enough to give the flywheel a little nudge forward and in the million to one odds it cranked! It was in gear and the clutch was engaged! All I could think to do was holler WHOA! Dad was quick thinking and reached around and got the top wire pulled loose at the magneto and that shut it off. He didn't scold me as I was so scared I ran away with my tail between my legs and did not come back for a while and then he told me to stay off the tractor he was working on! That was said in a loud convincing tone of voice! gene Davis
