A few first"s come to mind.

My first tractor was an 8N at 4 or 5 years old. Knew about the clutch but didnt know about the brakes. I was real surprised when i stepped on the clutch while rolling down hill and I didnt stop.

At 6 years old, as I was coming home on the bus, I saw Dad and a hired man stacking hay. When I got home, nobody was home. So I got on the Case VAC and drove to the hay field in the ditch because I knew I couldnt drive on the hiway. I hooked up a dump rake and started following dad on the Farmhand tractor picking up what little hay I could and dumping it in front of the stack. Then dad sent me home on the VAC to refill the water jug. Every thing was OK and working just fine until Mom came home and told me I was too young to drive. And then when she found out dad knew and let me drive both ways, he got his butt chewed.

My brother some where around 8 or 9 and we drove the Super WD-9 as a team. Any one who has ever drove a WD-9 knows it takes a strong man or two strong boys to drive it. It took both of us to pushed the clutch in. Then one of us could hold the clutch in and the other would shift it into gear. It also took both of us to steer it too.
