Three tragedies from tractors
JAMES’ Uncle Clarence Nagorcka was killed in 1946 at Rainbow, Victoria, on his parents-in-law’s property when the tractor he was driving rolled over a bank in a creek bed.
Then in 1957, his good friend and neighbour Eric Lange was killed.
The third major incident involved James’ father, Percy, in 1973, when they were working together in the paddock.
