ya lee, lots of things could'a happened but they didn't. many of us did dumb stunts with tractors and we are here yet. I know if it would have been me I would have known enough to NOT let the tractor roll back. I was hauling full loads of hay with a 9N Ford before I was 10 years old. You LEARNED HOW to drive. Crossing the creek you knew you had to be in 2nd ger cuz it would spin out in first, and you had to spilt the track and keep your tires on the sod. Same thing going up the bank into the barn. You knew you only had one chance and you had darn well better hit the door. Just one example, I could't have been more than 9 or 10 and was bringing in a load of bales with the little Ford. I swung in the driveway in high but there was a hill by the barn and I knew I had to downshift. In shifting between 3rd and 2nd the shift lever came right out in my hand. You better believe I got my fist lesson in self taught double clutching right there, And no, the tractor never rolled back.
