Greetings Ed!
What you said brings back memories of my days on the farm! We too had farm neighbors that were missing fingers or arms, and some even lost their lives to open PTO shafts. Sends shivers up my spine just thinking about it!! Thank God I still have all of my fingers, arms, legs, and so on. I was one who was always mindful of roller chains and sprockets, open belts and pulleys, and the always dangerous PTO shafts, (Dad WAS ALWAYS admonishing me to be careful around moving parts) so I was always watching my every move around these dangerous areas of farm equipment. Let's face it---I wasn't a big fan of pain, and even less of a fan of losing body parts!!
