Can't remember if drivers ed. was even offered at my school in the late 50s. In any case I didn't take it; I learned to drive on my dad's tractors and trucks, so getting my license at 16 was just a formality. Seems I did have to bone up on a training manual.
A friend of mine, a teacher, was teaching at a school in west Texas years ago, and being a coach, he drew the short straw on having to teach driver ed. One day he loaded up a few of his students and headed out to the desert for some hands-on training. When they reached a remote area out of harm's way he put a boy, the class doofus, behind the wheel. As they cruised along Carl spotted a rattlesnake sunning himself in the road ahead. He casually told Doofus, "Run over that snake."

They all had to walk back two or three miles to the school. For months Carl had to endure "Did he get him, Coach?" from his fellow teachers whenever he walked by.

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
