Larry, At the present time I own a 52'Farmall "H" and a 40'"A". I grew up with a 39'"A" 47'"MD", 48'"C" 50'"W9" in addition to a 36'"Cat D-4", 43'JD "B", 48'Ford 8-N. I now, since retirement, help my cousin who has an IH 786, 2 966's a 1456, a 4568 4x4, a Massy 1500 4x4, and a White 4-210. My favorite of all these is and has always been the Cat D-4, I guess mainly because as small kid I used to drool over the day that My Dad and Grandfather would let me drive it by myself. My Grandfather finally set the date, that being as he put it "The day you can start it, is the day you can drive it" With a rope pull pony motor, I was 11 yrs old before I had enough a** to pull that rope hard enough to start the pony motor. I still had to get the diesel going which wasnt easy for an 11 yr old kid to accomplish, but the day I started the pony motor, I also started the diesel. Grandpa reluctantly kept his word. What a thrill. I did like the W-9 mainly because it made more noise than any other tractor I have ever driven, and it was a hog, and I now enjoy driving the 4568 my cousin has, but for sheer thrill, nothing comes close to the Cat. I learned on the 39 A, at the age of 6 but Pa wouldnt let me drive that in the field by myself until I was 7.
