Never get off the right side of that tractor with it running -- the reason for the thumb gaurd being added was drivers getting off on right side and pd lever going up inside jacket button moving down and pd lever engauging cauzing tractor to move forward killing operator.

Never thought of it for that reason, but it makes perfect sense.  I never understood what it was guarding your thumb from anyway? :-)  Thanks for that info

That will only happen if it is in gear.  NEVER get off either side with trans. in gear.

Grill is big giveaway for series I.

Jordan,

You are right, there are other things I didn't mention, like the engine oil lines, and a few other things, but to your point there are many ways to tell.

Wow, glad to hear that about getting off on the right side in a hurry.
Looks like 92" wheelbase won't cut it on the rollback.  Was hoping to save some cash on the haul.   Ouch
