tractor driver, And wit that Pop set me in the seat of a SC Case that was purring away .We were the
2nd team pikin up alfalfa hay . My brother was 7 and on a DC piking up with my cousins , We had a
couple Negros helpers that lived off the Ohio river bank in the summertime.There were 2 square balers
with wagons behind them. Later on , the Ford Jubilee, and 35 Ferguson Deluxe were safe trzactors
for me to drive ,, off limits was any 2 popper JD or hand clutch tractor . Finally atage 11 Dad let
Me rake with the
DC ,we just got it , and
i was notsupposed to use 4th gear. By the time i was 15, i had plowed corn with a WD allis , Mowed
with a 430 -and 830 Case ,,. literally stayed on a tractor 15 hours a day and
loved it ,,.
the only thing that turned my head was the neighbor gals sunbathing, aint' No way i was pumping
manure and hauling out to those fields with the 800 Case then.
when i got my driviers permit , i drove pops truck to pump manure with a 3020 Deere ,, Boy ! that
was a sweet tractor , But it sure Loved Gas . I will be 66 in a couple weeks , My dear Sara turns 63
