I sure got a kick out of reading your post. My Mother tells this story....I was a baby and my Father had an F12 he'd bought (this was in 1948). They had got married after he got out of the Army and very poor...Anyway...he'd hooked up the team and she was holding me and driving the tractor, apparently the old Farmall backfired and scared the horses and they started to run off and she says, she just held me under one arm and JUMPED..right over the back wheel!!! We laugh about that now, she's 76. Sure is fun to think back to those days. I've seen her pull start just about everything we had back in those days. I nearly got the bottom of my right foot cut off one time, I was riding with her on a JDB cultivating and when she raised the cultivator at the end of the field I had my foot (barefooted) resting on the rod from the rockshaft to the front....boy did that HURT....Those sure were the good old days!!! My father and mother were very sucessful farming, they did just about everything and anything you can imagine to make a dime, hogs, selling milk in gallon jars, selling cream to the creamry, freezer beef, freezer hogs, buying more ground, it all worked out good for them, they are comfortably retired now and renting out the crop land.
