Autoerotic Fatalities With WHAT?
Eugene Volokh of The Volokh Conspiracy is a scholar with wide-ranging interests. Presumably not this wide-ranging, but he did find the citation:
O’Halloran RL, Dietz PE: Autorerotic fatalities with power hydraulics. Journal of Forensic Sciences, 38:359-364, 1993.
Like the man says, ouch.

Here’s the abstract to the article:
Autoerotic Fatalities with Power Hydraulics
O’Halloran RL, Dietz PE
Abstract
We report two cases in which men used the hydraulic shovels on tractors to suspend themselves for masochistic sexual stimulation. One man developed a romantic attachment to a tractor, even giving it a name and writing poetry in its honor. He died accidentally while intentionally asphyxiating himself through suspension by the neck, leaving clues that he enjoyed perceptual distortions during asphyxiation. The other man engaged in sexual bondage and transvestic fetishism, but did not purposely asphyxiate himself. He died when accidentally pinned to the ground under a shovel after intentionally suspending himself by the ankles. We compare these cases with other autoerotic fatalities involving perceptual distortion, cross-dressing, machinery, and postural asphyxiation by chest compression.
