Dad bought a 1940SC in '42 and I got to be 'real important' driving it through gates held open at age 8. That summer I "mastered" turning corners pulling a hay wagon with long tongue for horses and with the old wooden Dain hayloader dragging behind..a trick to get the hayloader not to miss the windrow at the corner. Next year I was demoted to be a hay spreader/tramper in the wagon with my father and 8 year old sister was driving the magnificent Case with a rope from the clutch to the wagon standard.

They didn't trust us "important helpers" not to pull the end of the barn out because we didn't stop in time. The team of horses just stayed in the barn and ate the hay. That SC came with sheet steel front wheels which made it lighter on the front and steering almost like power steering. BTW, you build the hay load around the outside edges first, then the center so that the mass tries to tip inward. And when hooking up the rope slings layed in the layers, do not hook them up around one of the wagon boards!
