[AT] test those old MM tractors had jumpy "leaping levers".

[Mike 1countryguy]

Never had a "jumpy leaping lever" on any of my MM or White tractors.   UTU (hand clutch), or the 670, 950, 1000, 1355, 2270, 2-150, 2-180, 4-150, 4-175, 4-210 or my A4T 1600.  Has to be operator error or Mechanical issues.   I drove and still drive them.  Good heavy horses and i can and do work on them and they are used on my farms.   I bleed MM.   Now i will go back to silent mode on the list.

As Farmer notes, those old MM tractors had jumpy "leaping levers". They kept that tradition at least up through the G705's that I can attest to... trying to back up a long-nosed G705 with a grinder/mixer was a learning experience for a young lad. :)

Hi Dave:
Was this a foot clutch test or a hand clutch test?
Sometimes when something extra scary happens I clutch my chest... Sometimes my wife carries a clutch but I would feel a little silly carrying one unless it was metal.
Kind of a strange term for such a device when you think about it. I would think "disconnect" would be a better term. In the case of my MM-R it could be called "the leaping lever"...
