I have to agree with you. I've ran quite a few non power-steering tractors over the years, and it never killed me. After while you don't even notice it. I can still remember my grandpas first lesson on driving a tractor. The first one I ever drove was his Farmall "M", and the first thing he told me was "Don't ever reach through the steering wheel to run the throttle - reach around it". The first time I saw that wheel whip when the front end hit a bump, I understood perfectly. I believe the second lesson was on the proper way to hand-crank it, because the starter usually work. It had been overhauled in the mid-70s and I probably drove it for the first time in '82 or so, and it was quite a task for a eight or nine year old kid to hand-crank that thing, but I had to do it if I wanted to drive. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
