    Supposedly an old Mack will do that too. If you stall it out and depress the clutch at just the right moment it will begin to run backwards. I don’t think it’s like a Detroit where it blows smoke out of the breather. Just that the rotation is reversed.

    I have never seen it, but I believe the fella that told me. I may also be remembering wrong. It’s been a long time

    Dad had one that was horrible about that, let it turn over a few times and let off the button and it would kick over backwards.
