our Canadian Maple Leaf Flag was officially out today in 1965. I remember I was in grade two. in grade one I remember the old Union Jack flag on the classroom wall in the one room class in Dapp Alberta. And for tractors dad was farming with a W6 McCormick. I used to ride with him when he was plowing and discing. at ten years old I was discing on my own with a 10 ft john deere disc and had grease the boxings every 2-3 hrs.no hydraulics on the tractor. it had a rope pull for deepening. make sure to watch temperature gauge he said cause the fan belt was getting bad. if it pulls heavy use 2nd gear instead of 3rd gear he said.I was in grade 4 then. learned stuff at an early age.
riding the school bus I used to see my grade one teachers husband working in the field with his Massey 44 special. I now own his tractor. he is long gone. another neighbour had a Minneapolis U sitting in his shed. I used to look at it and think man that's a nice big yellow tractor. I now own it also. another neighbour had a 1949 McCormick W6 tractor he bought new . I now own it. yep time sure flys, and so does the flag for 55 years now.
