5 years ago during the 1992 harvest, we used my Farmall H on the field augur to load soybeans in the semi. The voltage regulator points got stuck and ran the battery down. The wife and 2 year old daughter were out in the field. So I took the neighbor's M and chained it to the H to give it a pull. I unhooked the augur drive shaft from the PTO and had wife, with child in her lap (you can see this one already?) drive the H while I pulled with the M. Now the H had a New Idea front end loader on it, so I tried to chain underneath it so it would stay up as I pulled. Well I only pulled about 50 feet and the H fired up just fine and I stopped pulling. However during the 10 second pull, a loader fork caught in the ground and twisted the assembly badly.

I wanted to pass this on to future fathers with young kids. Keep them away from working farm equipment. I learned my lesson that day.
