I'm going to entitle this story THANKFULL TO BE HERE TO TELL THIS STORY. When I was 17(now 43) my dad sent me to repair some fence on the backside of our place. Well I didn't want to walk and tote all of that fencening equipment so I pilled all the stuff on out Farmall Super A and away I went. Well about halfway across the place I decided to take a little shortcut. I had to go alongside of a little hill which wasn't too steep,but had a litte dropoff in the middle of it.One strike aganist me was the heavy side was on the downhill side,and the other was I hit a hole with the back tire and this made the tractor off balance. The tractor started tipping over sideways. It happened so fast I can't remember how I got out of the seat,but when everything came to rest the tractor was upside down on top of my leg and I was laying face down . Well I pulled,nothing,I hollered,nothing,and I cried,nothing. This went on for 2 1/2 hours. I'm thankful that I had to be at work that day and my mother came hunting for me. When I seen her comming I started hollering and boy did she come a running,plowed through a creek. Then she had to go and get my dad. He pulled the tractor off me and off to the doctor we went. Nothing was broken. So I'm here today thankful to be telling this story to others. I have two tractors today and I respect them greatly. After all these years it's just as real to me as it happened yesterday.PLEASE BE SAFE IN ALL YOU DO.

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
