Was plowing one afternoon, when the starter switch shorted out on my Farmall 200. Grounded back through the starter pull rod. I was able to rip the battery cable off with my bare hands, and a claw hammer from my tool box. Fortunately, I saved the tractor. Unfortunately, I got some nasty burns on my hands. Had this happened when I wasn't on the machine, it probably would have taken the tractor. When I put new starter rod on, I made sure it was insulated. I'm sure there's lots of tractors with similar switches just waiting to short out!
