If you put a can of starting fluid under the seat of your tractor and...
You weigh 375lbs,
it will burst... If only he would have been smoking a cigar!
I bet that woke him up! I was nearly killed by a soft drinks bottle rolling un der the brake of an old 2140 when I was about 15. I was sat on the mudgaurd at the time and the tractor went out of control down a steep bank. I lived to tell teh tale and now never leave anything that could roll undeer a pedal although maybe I need to check under my seat as well now!
He never even knew it burst. Go figure. Starting fluid can be exciting. I've seen it used to seat a bead on a tire. Spray a liberal about inside the tire and light a match. Pops it right on the bead. Sort of startling to see it work.
