I’ve got a couple stories that involve the same tractor: a 1949 farmall md that my great grandfather bought new in 49’.
About 4 years ago, my grandfather went to coast start it, and after he got it started, he backed up to turn around towards the end of a hill. Well, he went a little too far and rolled the tractor over the bank on top of him. Thankfully he was ok after a couple stitches.
He told me two stories that involved his grandfather, George. One day, George was discing with the md in a bottom near a creek and he had epilepsy. Apparently he had a seizure and drove the tractor right over the bank into the creek. Walked into the house later and couldn’t figure out why he was wet lol
On a separate occasion, George was driving the md down the road in high gear and went to make a turn and “forgot” to slow down, and drove the tractor straight into the bank.
To this day, we still have the md, but it was converted to an M due to the engine overheating while grinding corn....

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
