Investigation Summary
At 8:45 a.m. 0n March 17, 2021, an Independent Mechanic ("mechanic") was fixing the hydraulic leak on a tractor.

The right counterweight, approximately 1,000 lbs., fell on the mechanic after he removed two essential screws. The mechanic got up afterward, but immediately fell to the ground and died.
