Shut off the fuel, or shut off the air. Don't see why you couldn't just pull the fuel shutoff? That should have killed it. It was only running backwards. You could also load it down and stall it. That works. They probably have the emergency shutdown too. The 71's had that; the ones' I've seen anyway. However, that's only on the intake. If it's running backwards, it should be expelling through the blower. I would think it would just blow the emergency flap up, and keep pushing out... So if she took oil for her fuel, and you couldn't stall it, you probably did the right thing. You took away her air, the only way you could.
I remember a guy telling me a story about driving a truck with a silver 92 in it a number of years ago. He came down off the mountain over here, crossed the bridge, and started up another hill. All the way up the bridge ramp she was pullin good, and he was feedin' her gears. He was still going up hill loaded, still pullin' and he hit 15.... ran clear out of gears... Oh boy.... Somethin's goin on here... Looks in the mirror, and he couldn't see the road for smoke, and the old devil is still gaining. Was he ever glad for brakes that day. He pulled the shutoff, and laid into the linings. He was very lucky to stall her out in the top gear... I don't know if the rack stuck that day, or she just tunred the blower seal, but something went wrong.
