Dad was picking ear corn, I was hauling wagons & unloading with the Ford 960.
Got the wagon unloaded, hopped on the 960, turned the key and leaned forward, pushed the started button down (battery is under the steering wheel on a 960 so less than a couple feet from my head, under the instrument cluster...) and BOOM.
Lost my hearing for 2 seconds, saw a piece of plastic - battery top - fly away like a frisbee. Fluid dripping down from under the dash. Mom looked at me like I was dead or something, I was kinda wondering myself on that. She was saying something, but I couldn't hear it.
Hearing came back, got my bearings, grabbed a battery out of the H, got it hooked up & made it out the field before dad got the next wagon full.
Those things can just blow, and with real emphisis, one doesn't realize until you live through it.
