I had an uncle who died in a similar manner, also in his 70's. Very sad.

Although I mispoke the issue by not being complete, and do agree with you that incorrect and incomplete combustion of diesel can contain dangerous amounts of CO, I still stand by that a diesel tractor wouldn't have put out enough CO to kill 20 some cows a dog and the farmer. The fumes would run you out long before the CO would kill you, I would think.

Of course, maybe if it was a diesel it was an old out of tune one, I don't know... Regardless, running any vehicle indoors is not smart.

I usually go by north of Green Bay, since I'm north of Madison myself

Technically, I guess it would be north of Hwy. 8, "What happens north of Hwy. 8, stays north of Hwy. 8." As was explained to me on a fishing trip last summer
