No accidents here so far while wrenching on a tractor. I consider myself pretty safety cautious, but thought I would share some of my close calls on an operators stand point. I roll started a tractor one time with an unsecured battery. During the process, the positive post of battery got over against gas line and turned it red hot. A little smoke is the only reason I caught that in time. Another time I was starting a tractor while standing beside it because the battery had a bad connection and I was jiggling the battery cable. The tractor was on steel wheel's and it was in gear when it started. I barely got out of the way from getting run over by the rear wheel. Then I had to chase the tractor down. Another time I was mowing weeds with a sickle mower. Was having some trouble with weeds plugging up the mower so I was going along watching the mower more than where I was going. I was a little closer to a big ditch than I thought I was when I found it. I got the tractor stopped just in the nick of time or I would of definately flipped it over. I just thank the lord that these were close calls instead of accidents.
