[QUOTE="MathewsZman, post: 96003, member: 257"] My old man was trying to get an old side delivery rake spring off about 10 years ago and got pissed off and smacked it with a big hammer . Needless to say that's not the way to go . It snapped off and went thru his eye lid and thru the white of his eye . Took him 35 miles to Pierre and they wouldn't touch it , made him go to Rapid City . Offered to medivac him but he was to tight for that so we drove the 165 miles . The sound he made when we hit every road splice , patch or anything still haunts me to this day . They took it out , wore a patch for a few months and still has 20-20 to this day at 84 . Funny thing is now if he see's you working on anything you get an ass chewing if you don't have on goggles , gloves and hearing protection . This from the guy that used to fill the tractor gas tank straight from the fuel truck , tractor still running , manifold red hot . Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks . [/QUOTE]
