A miner and a mechanic were changing a rear tire on a tractor. They removed the flat tire. The jack would not go high enough to install the full tire. They jacked the tractor back up from under the man basket. When the mechanic tried to position the new tire, the tractor slipped off of the jack and the mechanic's left thumb was smashed between the fender and the tire.
