I gave the starter a quick jab an darned if it did'nt start,It was in first gear and the front end began to rise as it was now hooked into the loader which itself was hooked to the chain hoist.I was standing beside the tractor when this happened and managed to reach the shutoff,however those 2 CYL flywheels take a while to stop.It almost broke the hoist beam and me.
