My sister and a neighbor kid started Dads 1950 Case model SC and ran it up a tree when we were kids. No safety switches back then. The "ignition switch" was the oposite of most for the time,you pulled a small knob out to shut it off,push it in when you started it. Then just push another large button to engage the starter. Barb was on the seat,Brian was sitting straddle the gas tank,I guess bumped the switch pushing it in. We had purchased the tractor from his Grandfather. He was telling her he knew all about it,steped on the starter button,it was in gear and while they were fooling around,they had pushed the hand clutch ahead and engaged it,so it took right off as soon as they pushed the button.
