Sugar Snow, Sleigh Rides and Bad Decisions

Recommended Posts

Pullstart

If I’d just realize “stay out of the deep stuff” things would probably work out for the better.  I get that.  But where’s the fun?  I’ve quote Lee Brice’s “Life Off My Years” a few times in the past.  
 

Some's born to take life easy, I was born to live life on a dare
I never worried about the fall, y'all, just how high I got in the air”
 

After an hour or more riding the field, I took a chance and buried Poppy the 552.  Taking a Hail Mary out of Uncle Jim’s Play Book of Regerts I decided to stick the tractor in reverse and make my hands into the front axle by pushing the tires backwards.  I slipped my right hand off and right into the flywheel screen.  One knick was all it took to tell me that’s not a smart decision.  Out came the shovel and no tractors were abandoned in the making of this story.

I made it a good ways before sticking into the slushy snow again...

Then finally made it to safety.  The plentiful amounts of clean snow surrounding helped keep my finger clean and well.

I really feel sorry for that 552.  :confusion-confused:


What for?  It was a carcass when I got it, used parts I had on hand to make little kids, along with myself, smile many, many times.  :handgestures-thumbupright:

Nothing like beating on an old tractor! :(

 

ATV's are made for that.

I don’t know...

 

Gonna consult the Bumps & Bruises :law-policeblue: mods on this one...
 

That looks like just a plain ole’ flesh wound... no spurting’, oozin’ or bone showin’... :snooty:

 

Gotta say it’s not up to your usually high injury standards... :sleeping-sleep:

 

Slow day in the mid-Mitten?

Not terrible you’re right, but could’a been worse.  Imagine left hand slipping into the drive pulley.   That would’ve resulted in leaving a tractor in a field in a snow bank, now that’s a terrible thought!

I thought about getting back to the summer tires this morning, but thought I’d rather have the digging power of the skinnies.  Maybe I’ll throw the 26x12-12’s on and try again!

I don’t understand what makes you fart smellers think I’m taking it apart?  This is one round hood, that will possibly maybe be up for sale after my funeral.  :wh:
