Last disking job of the year. I was finishing up. I stopped to close a gate. The tractor stopped. I thought I killed the motor backing up to close the disk. All I could do was walk to the truck about a block, and a half way and get my battery. The tractor started and stopped. I was on a incline. I didn't realize I was out of gas, all what was left of the gas ran to the front of the tank. It started again I pulled the clutch and it was almost level did that a few more times. It must have been starting on fumes, then the gas ran to the carb. I wasted no time loading the tractor. This was my AC Model M crawler. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but this was after noon. I was tired from bouncing around. Very rough, and hot. I'm not as young as I think I am. Anyway everything is put up for the winter. Tractor, and the 54 chevy flat bed. I will remove the insurance tomorrow, and put the truck in non operating status until next year. Stan
