You know Red, The first tractor my daddy put me on was an H. He rigged a hand clutch on it so I could operate it because I didnt have enough weight to push it down and legs were too short to stay on the seat at the same time. I can still remember hanging onto the steering wheel, trying to keep it straight and push that clutch in. lol. He always talked about getting a SM but never did. They were pretty pricey out here. He ended up trading in the old H for 2020 JD. It sure looked good but for the kind of work we do it really dogged it so he traded it for a Massey 168. But the one tractor I still have was one that a guy gave him because he couldn't get it to run and that's a Ford 841 Power Master. It still runs everyday. I use it for the moderate work and the 1206 for the heavy work. But what ever I get on in the morning, when I look out over the nose the first thing I see is the red top and front of that old H sticking out in front of me. I can still see the old belt pulley down on the right side and remembering it parked in front of the old circular saw and that old wide belt slapping as dad would push those logs through to cut the old barn timbers and floor. He used store bought lumber for the walls and roof. That old barn burned down about 30 years ago and now my all steel boarding barn is sitting on the site. But when I look out there I can still see it and remember helping Pop raise the timbers and see him up on top roofing that old barn. Aaaa but there I go telling and reminiscing too much again. Yes Red, That first red tractor will always be the best in your memory.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
