[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 201024, member: 642"] My Dad had MM tractors also. We had 2 G tractors for field work. One propane and one gas. Anyway they both had hand clutches and we had a steinman spring type hitch on the plow and the spring hitch had a cable that would attach to the bottom of the hand clutch in case you hit a big rock and that would trip the hand clutch so you didn't bust up the plow. That was before the trip style plows. Anyway got close to the end of the field and was reaching for the hydraulic lever to raise the plow and "bam" it hit a rock and tripped the hand clutch right into my forearm. Fell off the back of the tractor on the ground and swore i broke my forearm. Laid there for a few minutes in pain and neighbor was working right across the way. He came over and asked what happened and looked at my arm which had really swelled up. He said i better go home and quit plowing. He thought i should go to the Doctor to check it out. We never went to the Doctor unless you had a bone sticking out. My Mom's cure for everything was "Vicks". Went back to plowing until i finished the field then went home. It wasn't broken that i know of, as never went to Doctor. That sucker hurt for many weeks and was quite tender so to speak! Had to be my right arm too. The good old days! [/QUOTE]
