Was on my Dad's keychain

He had this on his key chain for more years then I know. I was with him when he used it to start my "1030" I have today, I heard him swear when he put the mark in it.
Its been on my key chain now for 17 years. I feel he would be happy I still use it.

Dan,

I'd say that nick was a well-earned battle scar from starting that 1030. That's some great family and tractor history you have! Don
 
Makes for good memories Dan, after seeing it I thought, sure looks like someone used that to start a tractor without reading your story, Rod.
 
I have one looks the same. It says P&C tool on one side and the other side has the name of the company I used to work for. Sure it was a give a way.
 
Great photo and article. Nice to have those keepsakes. Have you thought about who will have it after you?

I might just be sticking my head and hand in your office door later this summer, but not for that key, LOL.
 



I found mine this evening, along with my "Powerful Pete" the round disc with screwdriver blades The lettering is warn off most all the keys. I carried this gob of keys for many many years and there wasn't much that I couldn't start.
Even reverting to tactics like your dad did with his.
This gob of keys was extremely handy when I worked construction, as keys were often hidden in machines overnight and a different operator would need to use the machine the next day.

What a thoughtful reply too Loren, Ron, Roy, Rod, Jon, CZ, Don, Tom, 94case, and Graham, you all understand how this little screwdriver means so much. In a age of forgetting what really counts, you all shined right through and understood. My hat is off to you all.
 
Ron, hehe,, how did you know what I was thinking! Cause I have thought about that. Ron, please let me know when you plan to stop.
