I farmed in the 60s with a new JD crawler, tillage, no hay. I bought a "25 Fordson to pack silage in the trench and bunker silos but I soon found out it could do a lot of other things. Pulled the manure spreader and the engine drive baler when I started haying after I sold the cows. We pull-started it a lot. It had an impulse mag so it never kicked back cranking. The clutch was slow to disengage. I put the crank thru the milkhouse door once pulling up to fill the radiator. It wouldn"t hold antifreeze so I didn"t put water in it til I got it started in winter. It stopped when the rad hit the door. One time was pull starting it with the truck and when it started I pushed it out of gear like usual (pushing the clutch in put the brake on). My daughter saw me overtaking her and stomped on the gas which instantly broke the tow chain. The long end went over the truck bed and creased the cab. The short end hit the gas tank in front of the steering wheel. I"m 80 and it was one of many close ones while farming. It sat outside for years and water rusted the sparkplugs off so water got into it and broke the head. My grandson discovered that when he took it apart after I gave it to him.

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
