Local High School had a drive your tractor to school day for FFA week. It was about 25 deg F this morning so only nine showed up.

The Massey 65 was the one I had been working on for the neighbor, he was real happy to have it road worthy for today.

Lots of fancy newer cab models. They should have been nice to drive in. Now that old Massey would of been a cold slow ride !
 
Son supposed to have one tomorrow, but will be below 0, club is having it Monday instead. He said he was still taking the 1950 Farmall H with a heathouser. Only a mile from town. I just had it on a tractor
ride 2 weeks ago put on 120+ miles, drove to it and home.
 
We did that in FFA at highschool.
We also had the muddiest truck
day. We would go out the night
before or that morning before
school and get our trucks as
muddy as we could.
 
My high school had a FFA class, and the ROTC program. It was dropped latter on. I guess it didn't fit in with the yuppie generation. Stan
 
Our school did that today as well and my son drove our IH 986. He was glad for a cab and heater - it was 0 F this morning with a windchill of about 15 below. The guys on the open station
tractors had a chilly drive across town.

I remember our high school ag class had a tractor day in about 1965. One of the local boys had an F-12 or F-14. He lived about 10 miles from the school, and that old tractor was incredibly slow, so when he got ready to go down Campbell Hill Grade [a big looong hill in our community] he slipped it into neutral, thinking he'd make passenger train time to the bottom of the hill. The old tractor slowed to a stop.

Most likely there was poor attendance.

I had a tractor day all four years of high school. I think I was about the only kid that drove an open station tractor every year. I almost had to walk my senior year from getting the tractor nearly stuck. The only way I was allowed to drive a tractor to school was to take the back roads/ minimum maintenance roads into town. That year we had a lot of snow melt going on and my poor narrow front WD Allis kept cutting a furrow and pulling mud up into the fan rather than rolling along on that min-maintenance road.
