Sunday afternoon, hubby cranked up two of our JD tractors and said let's go for a ride. I hadn't felt particularly good and had spent most of the day inside. After we got back, we put the tractors up. As we always do, we shut the gas off to let the tractors run out of gas. I had driven our '46 A slant dash. The shut off valve at the bowl is on the right side (clutch side). As I leaned in to turn off the valve with my right hand, my long hair slid down and over my left shoulder.
