[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1675615, member: 18945"] Bad memories there from the days of my mis-spent youth. I was about 13 yrs old. Dad roped a yearling off the the seat of an 8n tractor running pretty fast across what little pasture we had on 124 acres back then. He had tied off to the steering column and the calf took off back behind the right side of the tractor. It went downhill quick., yearling is running out at the end of the rope to the rear, the rope pulled the throttle lever to max rpm and broke the lever off. Went on around the back of the tractor and headed toward the front, the rope rode up on the left rear fender, broke the implement light off and pushed Dad up & out of his seat with the tractor still in 3rd gear, and pulled him almost off the tractor onto the litle running board. He reached down to turn the key off and it fell out of the switch and he's stuck up there with his foot on the clutch, engine screaming with no load on it, he can't reach the gear shift, hollering for me and brother to catch the damn yearling. We never tried that again. [/QUOTE]
