One day, many years ago, I was out disking with the Case DC pulling an 8 ft disk and disking crossways in the field. In and out of furrows.
Being a "know it all" teen, I loved hearing it grunt when it came out of the furrows. I would throttle down and then gunn her on the way out. One moment I throttle down too much and she stalled.

That old Case was always an easer starter, but if you stall her when shes hot.....
be careful on restarts.
