This story has been on the news and I know a lot of people have heard this story or versions of it. An unfortunate farmer trapped under his tractor thinking he;s going to die and scrawls his will on the fender of the machine which the courts accept as legal.
Anyway I wonder if anyone here could ID the kind of tractor that fender came from, it's an unusual copper colour and it had 3 ribs and an extension on the piece they cut off. I thought it might me Mccormick deering but it's too rounded ... and it happened in 1948
One more thing, in another story written by the last living man that helped pull him out, he said the tractor had steel wheels with spikes and he was hooking to a "one way" implement he said it was known as, and described it as an old tiller and he was able to reach "the tractors control clutch" and might not have realized it was in reverse and got pinned.
