I  learned the hard way almost thirty years ago to use eye protection for
grinding. I never knew for sure how it happened but I can still recall the
pain that eventually drove me to a doctor to have a piece of steel removed
from my eye. It was during harvest and I was using a p.t.o. combine behind
the 930 Case. I had to work with one eye for a while as the doc put a patch
over the injured one. Luckily it was the left eye injured. leaving my right
eye still functional for all the over the shoulder work involved in pull
type combining.
I was lucky. Good vision, like so many things, is often taken for granted
until we lose it.
