Nope. The tree was on the ground. He was trying to cut off a limb and had the loader all the way up. Not sure if he was trying to keep the trunk from rolling or what. It flipped right back over after clearing a path with the neighbors skid loader, hooking a cable to it and tugging a bit with a 120HP FWA tractor. It has way less fuel in it now and probably not enough oil as he said it was running out the crankcase vent. Oh, and one less fender as the cast iron axle bracket is now 2 pieces. Seat is ruined and the steering wheel will need considerable help if it ever runs again. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Good time to change the oil pan gasket.

 He wasn't worried about the pan gasket. He was tickled to have it upright !------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| A friend (older guy who has farmed forever) turned over a truck full of grain. Being a pretty big fellow, he was upside down, and kinda stuck. He was trying to figure out how to get out when gas started pouring on him. Afraid the truck might light up, he knocked out the windshield and crawled out. |

| Granddad tipped a B over plowing once. Hooked something and the tractor flipped over backwards. |
