Well I have gone and done it. For the first time in 76 years I have a cast on my body all because of my own stupidity and neglect. I have a lawn tractor that has been in the shop about 4 months this year so I quit taking it there and started to do my own repairs again.

Thhis afternoon I went up a neighbors drive to the top of the hill to taLK TO him and turned the ingnition off leaving the tractor in gear. When getting ready to leave I pushed in the clutch to start the engine and away I went down the hill in a hurry. I was able to miss the trees (6) but came to an abrupt stop when I hit the culvert. I should say the tractor stopped, I didnt. ending up flat on my back. Ankle hurt some but I walked home, got the Farmall A and went back to tow thw LT up the hill to My house. Worked great.

My wife says I have to quit all this machinery stuff and I told her over my dead body and she says"that what Im afraid of"
