I used to haul a LOT of scrap.. one time, I took a load in on my 84 F250 and the pickup bed trailer I used to use.. I was in unloading and so was a guy with a larger truck that had some cars on it. They magged or used a loader to unload him (Can't remember which, it's been every bit of 7 or 8 years ago now) and he went to leave.
He apparently had a electrical issue, as he had a super nice (HAHA) unit that you had to open the hood to start it.. (Ya, I guess we've all had one of those at one time or another)..
I just wish he'd have took it out of reverse before he climbed under the hood.. and so did my F250.. and my beat up trailer.. I probably should have just scrapped both units there and then after that, but they hauled a couple more loads while I looked for a different truck.
The only other thing I remember from that day is for a fat kid, I sure moved fast.. I went over the bedrail and then jumped over the other side of my truck to keep from getting pinned by the larger truck.. another few seconds and I would have just been getting into my truck, and who knows what would have happened if that was the case.
Just felt the need to share my story, after seeing yours.. Good news is, in either situation, no one was hurt.. and in both situations we learned something..

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
