As the name suggests, my first driving experience was on my grandfather's 1947 Ford 2N. I was too young to even remember, as I did a lot of lap riding. Still had the pacifier in! Eventually, I was allowed to take it to the house to hose off the dirt and then to disc and use the "hiller" to make rows. At some point in time, he got a farmall 140 and it was a good tractor, but that 2N was very special to me.

I have fond memories of discing and making rows in our small 5 acre garden with my grandfather standing in the middle watching me. I can only imagine what he felt. He passed away about 3 years ago and I actually instructed my sister (at 16 years old) on how to operate a tractor hauling limbs in a trailer. I have pictures and she is really proud of it. I had to beg and plead to get the tractor to stay in the family and I am now restoring it to museum quality. I have over $2250 in parts (no labor or tools) and I'm just now getting the 5000 parts back together. This tractor will never leave me, and I hope to learn my kids and grandkids on it someday. I'm 23 now and that's a ways off, but wishful thinking!
