Narrative

Two mechanics were working on a Kubota Tractor trouble shooting an ignition problem. One mechanic was testing the starting wires and the other was checking tension on the alternator belt. The engine inadvertently turned over with the mechanic's hand in-between the alternator belt and pulley, damaging his left, middle finger one the last digit.
