A finishing mower set to cut at a height of 3" will not mow over the top of a partially full 2 gallon jug of engine oil. It will cut it up and throw oil all over the lawn. I don't know if this is due to CRS or an acute case of the Dumb Ass but don't set anything on the steering box in front of the radiator, check some other things, and then back out of the barn and start mowing. Again; don't ask me how I know this!

| Floyd, now that brings back (painful) memories. I did almost the same thing. Set the old oven to preheat. Lit the pilot and went to take a shower. Seems the flame did not go down the little tube as it should. I came back and opened the oven door. Now the flame goes down the tube. There were two explosions. One when the oven went off, and one when the right guard under my left arm went off. Had to call off my date, smelled like burning hair for weeks. |

| On the grimmer side, an old friend was carrying a empty 5 gal gas can on the back of the tractor brush hogging. The can fell off and got shredded by the mower. The resulting explosion threw the brush hog back on top of the tractor breaking the guys neck and setting the whole mess on fire. |

We were heading across the Andes of Peru, and before departing we decided to check the cables on the electric winch on the old Bronco we were using.

Don't park an L2 with a 6 row corn head face the broad side of your WD while on a hill even if you have locked the brakes and even if it's only about 4 feet between the tractor and combine. It results in two extra holes in one rear tractor tire, a bent and broken corn snout and a tractor sitting at about a 40 degree angle.

Wow, you just brought back a funny memory for me....
At about 8 years of age, I decided riding an old lawn mower around the yard, was the cool thing to do.
Welp, one day dad told me, better check the oil in that mower.
So I did.
Check the oil, with the ENGINE RUNNING...........
Black oil everywhere, down my shirt, pants, hat.....all over the engine.
Got my first lesson in checking oil that day, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!!

Another one. Just because you hear a strange dog barking at 10 PM outside your house doesn't mean you automatically grab the gun and step outside to fire one in the air. It could result in the sound of horse hooves gallopping, then the sound of steer hooves gallopping then the sound of fence wire stretching and then a midnight tour of the neighborhood. In that order.

If you don't have saw horse on site the tailgate might work...
However IF you leave the saw on the tailgate make sure the tailgate is facing the way you approach the truck from.
If you forget this step... DO NOT forget you only have 100' to remember what you did.
If you forget this step don't worry at 104' the built in speed bump reminder will make you remember.

Well, a stack of half rotted wood pallets topped with an iron lawn chair is NOT a suitable replacement for a ladder......especially if ones attempts to extend the usefulness of the "idea" by standing on the armrests of the chair. Fun fact, did you know a knee can be dislocated and bent sideways? Oh, and another fun fact, did you know it can be extremely difficult to extract oneself from a pile of half rotted wooden pallets and iron lawn chair while hanging upside down from the tower by one leg, dislocated at the knee and bent sideways stuck in iron lawn chair, with only head and elbows resting on the ground, not to mention just a little bit painful? Oh ya, one other fun fact, did you know wives and daughters can be extremely cruel......actually laughing at people hanging from a pile of half rotted wooden pallets with a iron lawn chair stuck on top, by one leg, bent sideways at dislocated knee?

| If the starter button goes out on your tractor, don't bypass the clutch safety switch so you can jump across the starter with a screwdriver.This becomes a problem if you forget to take the tractor out of gear when you do use this method of starting the tractor (especially if you give it 3/4 throttle). It will take off eventually going in circles side swiping one car and later coming to rest on top of the hood of a Grand Prix and pushing the car into the house before it will choke the tractor out. Don't ask me how I know this........ask my dad how he knows this. After all the carnage, the 185 escaped with only a scuff to the paint on the front weights. Surprisingly, the Grand Prix wasn't totaled out(it was close tho), the other car was( wasn't alot of damage but it was a $900 car so it didn't take much). The house also escaped with only very minor damage due to the fact that the basement wall, 10" concrete, took the brunt of the impact. Somewhere there are pictures of this incident. I will post them if I can locate them. Needless to say, this wasn't one of my dads shining moments. |

My dad decided the first turkey I ever got would be the first thing he ever cooked on his first ever gas grill...he hadn't even cooked hot dogs on it. He lit the burners, turned them all to high, and decided he had time to run into town to pick up my brother.

My uncle loaded a pickup with paneling for his house and when he pulled out onto hwy 63 he watched in his rear view mirror as the load slid out on the road like a deck of cards and at 50 mph they land flat but float off in all directions. He spent the next 20 minutes dodging cars and semis on this 4 lane (no one stopped) picking up what amounted to kindling for his brush pile (the traffic didn't try to dodge the panels too hard). A neighbor did about the same thing with the tin for his pole shed he just picked up from Menards with his grain truck. It dumped out on a side road on a very steep hill. He didn't have his phone so he hurried home to get help and a skidder to pick up the steel, which was luckily mostly on the side of the road. Unluckily when he got back to the spot where it all fell off someone had already loaded it all up and was out of sight. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

On the vein of Kenmore's and gas grills, alway remember to strap down your new grill in the bed of your pickup, after you bought it and paid the store to do the assembly. That first sharp turn you make will result in cast aluminum "kindling" on the roadbed.

YEEEAWOOO! Red neck stacking big time.
Watched a guy load a big old G900 Moline on a trailer, drove it from where it sat onto the trailer which the trailer and truck were pointed down hill. Fellow stepped on the brakes and there were none. Front end of tractor ended up on back end of truck.
They had to jack it up and block it while some one else had to pull it backwards...
Latest wtf was 2 am in the morning I hear a THUNK at the bottom of the hill, I jumped up and looked out the window and here is an old van with glass windows in the back being dragged down the pavement with the front hanging yet on the trailer. Back end firmly on the ground, no wheels touching, sparks flying everywhere and up inside the van..that was a shower of sparks...
Which reminds me of a fellow with a 966 pulling two gravety wagons of shelled corn couple years back. Could hear him coming for 3/4 mile, turn a corner and then was coming past my place. Flagged him down cuzz there was smoke coming up from the back wagon... he had snapped an axel and pulled it a good three miles and had ground off the frame of the wagon in that distance to being only couple inches left on the top of steering arm shaft. Should have seen the look on his face...

Had an uncle who went to clean the frozen manure off a running spreader beater with a crowbar once. He just barely touched the beater and WHAM! Bounced the bar right back to his forehead and knocked him flat. He had a big lump right between the eyes for quite a while. Another one, never take an old steel wheeled wooden elevator down the road at more than 10 mph and without checking to see if it will clear all the high lines across the road. You'll end up with a 2 wheeled real poor cart instantly and the neighbor's wires pulled right out of his house. That's the same uncle and another uncle after they bought this elevator at an auction. I could right a book on just that one uncle, then add in my Dad and other uncles and it's a TV comedy series. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

If the LP vehicle doesn't run and you disconnect the LP hose, there is a little spring loaded valve in there to keep the LP from coming out. If you use a screwdriver to push that little valve to see if there is any LP in the tank, and there is LP in the tank, it will come out and freeze your face off .

I've heard that when your riding your bike in the cow pasture, never ride in the lane right next to the electric fence. You could be unfortunate enough to hit a rock and fall onto the fence. It takes an unbelievably long time to untangle yourself from the fence (and your bike, which in itself is a very good conductor of electricity) with the electric current pulsing through your body. Your friends riding with you have no appreciation for the intense pain you're feeling, and will not lift a hand to help for fear of getting a shock, but will laugh as you're trying to kick your way clear of the fence and the bike.

Don't try to use butane spayed on a log in a wood stove to have the fire start quicker. Burned off some facial hair and nose hair. Also when using a multimeter to check 220 volts don't accidentally touch the lead. Don't feel good. Had a friend of mine loading some stuff into a barn with the loader up. His foot slipped off the clutch and drove right through the wall. |

Never park a 60 Oliver pointed directly at a newly filled fuel barrel that you have to choke with your hand over carb to start and leave it in gear. Starts on first turn and climbs barrel stand knocking barrel off stand. Took 4 of us to roll barrel so filler was at top, lost about 50 gal. Dad was glad I wasn't hurt but it was a bummer to dig a hole and use 5 gas cans to fuel tractors all summer. Barrel still has the dent in top and hasn't had fuel in it for 25 years.

Never try to lead a yearling holstein heifer home from the neighbours on your bicycle. Heifer went on one side of our mailbox post and our neighbour on bike went on the other- speed WAS a factor in this incident! Dad and I could also have written a book on this guys escapades! |

| 55 gallon drums cut in half will catch air and fly off of the truck when you clear a hill and get an unexpected head wind. At least the state trooper was tailgating and didn't notice them going over the cruiser. |

10 year old with tools working on bicycle in the yard is a no no. He never puts the tools away and when you mow, 1/2 inch wrenches fly fast and take out siding.
DOn't ask me how I know this!

| A brand new installed $100 electric clutch on a mower will spin and pull the wires out rendering it usable for a trot line weight at best if you don't tighten the bolt on the bottom of the shaft. |
