Hi Guys! I was reading this post and thought I’d add my $0.02. My post is a little different as it’s not exactly about implements. I grew up in a small community that had a large 4 room school for the 1 st to the 4 th grade…. only there wasn’t enough kids, so all 4 grades were taught in one room. It was a small community, with only a few small time farmers. A couple of diaries with 2, 3 or maybe 6 “fresh”cows at any one time. Since there wasn’t much in the way of crops, there were only a few tractors around. If you had asked me at the age of 16 to name how many brands of tractors there were and what they were, you would have gotten the answer of "3" brands, Ford, Ford-Ferguson and Case. There were several 9n, 2n, and 8n’s around, but I thought they were all the same, and there was one old steel wheeled Case (which happens to still be around and running) At the age of 17 when I went to High School, I learned there was another brand of tractor. The guy that lived by the school had 3 or 4 old Deere’s that he putted around on. A couple of words that your posts reminded me of were:…the word “hire” which was hire-e and the word “narrow” which was said more like the word “sorry”. I was reading another post a couple of days ago somewhere that sort of touched on the same subject of how words are said in different parts of the country (and world) and reference was made to grandparents, but from a couple of posts there, I sort of got the impression that they were being made fun of.…..and I was thinking to myself…..God Bless those grandparents….they can say things anyway they want or call things whatever they want…they know what they are talking about. They were decent, hard working people….people that cleared and farmed and made this land the great land it is today….I salute them ! I hope we get a few more posts on this subject here……..as I find it interesting. Let me make a note here….I don’t have the impression that you are poking fun here like they did in the other posts I mentioned above. Thanks! Gary

The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
