Almost fell off

[KAYAKER2]

I stoped to move a empty trash can that was in the way yesterday. stopped and didnt take out of gear. reached for the can and my foot let off the clutch. I forgot to take it out of gear before I moved the plastic can to the other side of tractor, to continue cutting. and dumped the clutch. Reminds me to to adjust the clutch also. Maybe a kill lanyard like in the boat.

I have done that a few times,,My left leg is my "dead" leg (rods & nerve damage)...Twice with my Whee Horse, luckily the plow hit big trees, last time was last week I was cutting the grass with my Craftsman and my dead leg slipped off the clutch/brake and ran over my still lawn display,,,the exstension cord (not plugged in) wrapped around the blades and stalled the motor,,,,had to raise the tractor up 3ft (swing set "A" frame & cum-a-long) and had wife untagle cord from blades....LOL..luckily nothing like that has happened with my Cub Cadet or Ford tractors..

dschwandt, Dont get me wrong I enjoy my 71 and The 3 speed. Im not 15 like I was when I mowed in the 70's. I don't plan on mowing by traversing hills sitting on the round fenders anymore either. And Robert I have metal and screw in my left ankle. Lets blame it on the titanium!

pushing snow with my 100 certainly fuels my interest in a hydro! (with a hydro lift).
if the right 782 comes along…
