"Anybody ever had a runaway tractor experience?"

Many years ago, I was raking hay with "Mac" one of our 1951 MTs and a JD 640 side delivery rake.

The seat on the MT did not have a back.

Turned to my left to pull the rope to engage the rake.

Lost my balance, fell off the tractor backwards, and landed between the tractor and rake.

The tines on the rake grabbed me and drug me along the ground for about 10 yards.

Tines finally broke and was free, but the right rear rake tire ran over me.

Jumped up, ran to the left side of the MT inside the rear tire, and turned off the switch.

Only had a few scratches, hurt pride, and a destroyed straw hat.

Immediately had a seat back installed.
