<<Guy lost it to an accident involving the PTO on his tractor. >> If the safety sleeves are removed the grease zerk can grab a sleeve and wrap the arm up at 550 RPM. Ouch.

That reminds me of some French Canadian loggers I watched in New York State. They cut more pulpwood on their lunch hour than the Americans cut all day, or so it seemed. They were awesome. I lived in a town where the cedar shake industry was viable for a time. The way you make cedar shakes is to split them with a froe, and then saw them diagonally to get the taper. In the days before OSHA, shake makers did the diagonal sawing by hand, which put their hands very close to the saw blade. Dozens of men in the town went around with two or three fingers missing.
