Smith says “a co-pitot" was riding in the cab with him, and
that he’s a lucky man. His initial fear of returning to the
combine now conquered, Smith climbs into his pickup to head
back out to the'fields, to operate the big replacement
machine.

With 42" Mower
He rolls combine 5 times
(Continued from Page Al)
After what must-have seemed an
eternity, the rolling stopped. The
combine was upright, having
landed on all four wheels. Smith
recalls his back pressed firmly
against the floor and his feet
somewhere near the operating
console.
His bands were still clinging to
the steering wheel, now bent partly
down the steering column toward
the seat. The top of the bent cab
nearly touched the steering wheel.
Forgetting how high above die
ground he was in the cab. Smith
flung himself through the win-

dowless cab frame and fell to the
field below.
For the first time, he realized
that the diesel engine was still
running. He clamored back up the
machine, with its ladder mashed
against the side, and shut the
motor down.
With smoke rolling from the
motor, its odor hanging in the air.
Smith ran “like a deer” to a
neighbor of the farm he was
working in partnership with his
brother. Perry Smith, Red Lion
R 5.
Not another person was close by.
No one else had seen the accident.

his first concern. Smith gave no
thought to the blood oozing from
miscellaneous cuts and the sting of
assorted brushbums.
Gone were his glasses, his pipe,
his tape, and the variety of. tools
that combine operators keep
handy for regular maintenance
and adjustment work.
Atypical of the close-knit fann
ing community, friends and
neighbors were quickly on the site,
combing the downhill roll path that
the combine had taken, and
searching for his personal
belongings.
His glasses could not be found.
With the wrinkled, “balled up”
machine left to the care of others,
Smith headed for the hospital.
