	My Farmall Super M does that about 2 or 3 times a year. 
Usually when it has a low battery from sitting or when I 
fail to give a solid tug on the starter rod and it just 
barely makes contact. I can rarely rock it backward since 
it has a loader on it all of the time and most of the time 
a three point implement. I have long carried a yard sale 
9/16" combination wrench in its tool box to loosen the 
starter enough for it to drop out.
	I also carry an old yard sale 9/16" combination wrench in 
my Farmall Super MTA tool box but that one is used to 
change over the lever on the bottom that operates the live 
PTO "seasonal disconnect".
	Since my tractors mostly sit in the buildings down the 
road I do not leave many tools on the tractors...   :-)
