I remember a guy shutting is tractor off at full throttle when it was belted to a silo filler.
It kept turning over a long time with the silo filler acting as a flywheel.

Yup, my father used to do the same thing. He felt it made it easier to restart with a charge of gas in the cylinders. But he stopped doing that when they started putting smog crap on the engines in the early '70s. They were prone to dieseling after switching off the ignition, and goosing it before shutting it off just made it worse.
