I did the same thing when I was working on the exhaust on my 68 Fairlane. Had it up on bumper jacks and pulled on tail pipe without putting my foot against the frame. It was like slow motion as it came down. I was on my side or it would not have touched me as the wheels was still on it. Hurt my left shoulder but nothing else.
My first tractor was a Unival 8hp and I used to flip is right up on the back wheels and the seat-back to work on anything underneath.
Wow, Noel, to say the obvious, it's a good thing you didn't have your head under there rather than your legs! Glad no serious injuries! Last weekend I drove the '95 Camry up on the ramps a little too far and off the end. No harm to anything but it still makes you feel dumb. Had to do a quickie repair on a rusted out exhaust. I ordered the cat-foreward exhaust system from some Ontario, Canada manufacturer. Best price I found.
The leaning tower of power! Owned a couple of them. My wife's first car was a '66 2 door sedan Valiant. 3 on the tree. I bought it for her high school graduation in 1977. No we weren't married---yet. That had a 170 slant six in it. She went to college out in Watertown after graduation and that car never let her down driving the 375 miles back and forth many times. We traded it off in 1979 for the 1972 GMC we still have.
I think there was a 198?
I have more trouble with short term memory.
You remember when Bob invented the wheel?
