Well, the long and short of it was, I was discing too close parallel to the creek, and got into a sandy bank. I couldn't move forward, and I couldn't move backward without it tipping over into the creek. So, I knew I was going over, and slowly moved the tractor forward, and fell with the tractor. The good thing was, I was very lucky, and only my pride was hurt. Couldn't say the sdame for the tractor though. Torqued the whole frontend however, making the radiator and supports lean to the right. Also dented the hood. And broke the fan pulley fork from the timing cover, thus necessitating the pulley puller that John *.? /.* so kindly procured for me. Just finished beating out the dents in the hood, and applied some body filler before I came in to check the forum. The paint they sold me at the local Case-IH dealer doesn't look to be true to the original; looks much too "hot" to me. I'll be spraying it tomorrow or Sunday I suppose. So much for my adventure in discing along the creek!

...sort of safe.. I would not mow the same area with the hi clear cub though...That cub is cool looking but I would never put it on even half the slope of the regular cub. Suppose I should actually start looking for a nice lo boy with a good Woods deck.
