Couple more…. And what did most older tractors have embossed on fuel caps? Buy clean fuel and keep it clean. Would I put my daughter on my 1940 Farmall A yard mowing tractor without instructions and warning; the tractor is adjusted to its narrowest track setting, and the drive belt is near your feet, then say how stupid her generation is for getting her foot caught in mower drive belt, or tipping it over mowing the ditch? I think not.

I haven’t had the pleasure, but I hear tell that Fordson operators were either quick to learn or quick to die.
 
That is true. The first Fordsons were notorious for flipping over backwards. The “fix” was extended fenders which alleviated this.
