Most of the early tractors up to about 1965 did not have any type protection. It was easier to get on tractor and start than reach from ground, on older row crops and standards. The tractors that created a lot problems early on were the ones you mounted ahead of rear wheels i.e. Fords and Fergusons. It was so easy to stand in there in front of that rear wheel and start the tractor.

Knowing the design of your tractor and if this concerns you a lot clutch pedal switches for 06 and 56 and later Farmalls should be quite easy to adapt to your M. I am willing to bet the price of it will do wonders for your memory.

Trying to make tractors, trucks and cars idiot proof has cost society a lot of dollars. It really hasn't helped. Today we have a society with a very cavalier attitude towards SAFETY.
