When I was a kid, my brothers and I had a term we used for the johnnypoppers.
My uncles had a 49 A JD and when it sat idling, it made a distinctive sound.
It would fire and then the governor would close the throttle for a few seconds.
It would sound like "Tut tut nun nun, tut tut nun nun"
Thus that tractor was always known as the "Nun tut"
I spent thousands of hours on that tractor on my grandmothers farm.
Thought I was in hog heaven.
