After reading post below about tractor upset, I felt I should report on a fatality that occurred three weeks ago less than a mile from here. A 67 year old man was using a tractor equipped with front end loader. He was using tractor/loader to push against a standing tree. Tree failed to go forward as intended but instead came back onto tractor. Man was pinned in the tractor seat and he died there. I do not know the size of the tree or if the tree had been partially cut with chainsaw or not. Local mail carrier told me that the man had diabetes and had had a leg amputated at some time. I do not know if he had a prosthesis or not. I did not know the man.
In a separate incident that happened a few miles from here recently, a man just barely escaped injury while using the tractor seen in the attached picture. I am acquainted with the man who was operating the tractor. He is probably early to mid seventies in age. I was told that he said that tractor front end got light as he started upgrade pulling large rotary mower. He pushed in clutch to stop, his foot slipped off the clutch pedal and the front end came up. For some reason the tractor stopped in the position seen in picture. Needless to say, a VERY CLOSE call.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
