Is there a tractor enthusiast who would take on this odd request?
I am writing a book about a woman who lost an arm and leg to a hay chopper in 1944 (as a teen) in the Upper Midwest.
I would like to correspond with/talk with someone who can help me understand how this machine worked and how she could be pulled into it.
I'm in Dallas, Texas, if there's an enthusiast nearby.
I just need to be able to visualize how this machinery worked so that I can describe it.
I do know that it ran/stopped based on the tractor pulling it, because the boy who was driving "felt something" and stopped. This was the only way the girl survived.
Can anyone help me with this?
