It took the U.S. Army to get me my first tractor ride. I was stationed in Alverado Tx. in 1965&66. I worked only at night and had my days off.

I just said OK and got on and made friends with it. Had the most fun driving the tractors into town to gas them up.

Had to hand crank it.When someone would ask how I was able to get it running, I would just say that it was a matter of making friends with it. I was 22 years old at the time.
