Fordson F's were famous for doing back flips. They also could be hard to start when warm. Farmers used to just let them idle when doing something else. They also had a habit of jumping into gear on their own and, having no brakes, farmers would have to chase them down to get them stopped. Nothing unusual so far. The unusual thing was that my old bachelor uncle got all of these things to come together in the space of about a minute one day when he had the old F idling in the yard. It jumped into gear and headed straight for the silo. It climbed the silo as far as it could and then did its famous back flip caught on fire and burned, which was unusual too, because it was made of steel. They said every part was burned, melted or twisted so that it was barely recognizable.
