I was working on plowing fot the first time today with my grandpa so we borrowed a neighbor"s 2-14 IH to go behind our 1937 JD A. It was doing a decent job in an old pasture where we started, but there was a tough spot where a fencerow had been where it kept tripping. I would simply hook up again and ease it through. One time it hooked a big rock and ended up pulling it out, and after that we couldn"t get it to go in the ground right. We were still making adjustments at this time so we didn"t immediately notice because we thought it was something we adjusted.

The plow wanted to pull to the land side badly and the tail wheel was riding outside of the furrow. It also was doing a "nosedive" and the back moldboard was hardly cutting.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
