Would you even pay the cover to get in and see her?

Driver’s side door of an old tractor:

Cracked. Handle hanging by it’s last screw. Possibly taped in some form. Window handle about to fall off. Dirty as hell on the window sill.

Passenger side door of an old tractor: Practically new.

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

We had a driver whose tractor door wouldn't open from the inside or outside. They told him to crawl in and out through the window till they could fix it. He fell to the ground and injured himself permanently. They are still paying for that decision.

But then again, he was a stupid guy...

Ya think?
...or maybe he was like a feedah driver from a neighboring state who was told the shop didn't have time/couldn't fix the park valve on his tractor...but to go ahead and take it.

He had a roll away in our yard.
Never heard what happened to him...

Had a guy lock himself out of his tractor at a rest stop, called dispatch, they told him it was a hot load that couldn't wait for a mechanic to get out there and instructed him to break the window. He got a rock and broke the window, then realized it was the wrong tractor..

Around here a lot of drivers have a spare key on the firewall under the hood. Usually by the fuse box

I dunno. He was the #1 feeder driver in the department. He was at an extended center 100 miles from our building. If I see him at one of the retiree get togethers, I'll ask him.

I kept a spare key under the hood. Hidden from view, hanging from a zip tie.

He agreed to crawl in and out of a window till they fixed his door....

Around here we don’t even have keys. There’s always at least a dozen tractors on our yard that no one knows where the keys are...

266 series? Not likely.

Yeah, they 88'd it right when I retired.

That doesn't even look used. Did they cut you a new one as a retirement gift?

I had a second key on my keychain. Shhhhh. and this key didn't match my old one. I don't know if they just put a key on it, or had changed the ignition out before I retired. I was off work for 9 months recovering from surgery before I retired. That is the brass and keychain, tho.

.... Instead of just using the passenger door.....
