I'm glad you all are safe. I would have never known to make sure that key was in the shaft!!
On a hypothetical approach (NOT aimed to the original poster), you have to see why I advise NOT to put higher speed road gears in these old tractors. This accident is a representative example of what can happen with a STOCK tractor.
People ask on this forum and in other publications where they can get gears to make their antique tractors go 15-20 mph. They install these gears without taking in consideration of worn steering shafts and wobbly front ends.
AT the VERY LEAST, we should be installing fresh, new brakes on these tractors before we begin working/driving them.
