Mike: Like your dad, my dad also in a hurry one day, had been to bank depositing his milk check. Brought about $400. cash home with him. Decided to stop and disk his potato field on way home. Farmall H seats were great at sliding your wallet from hip pocket, and that is exactly happened. This was in 1954, thus $400. was a fair bit of money.

When dad realized wallet was missing, he thought a minute what to do next. Of course, you do what farmers have alway done with rocks. Disks bury rocks, spring tooth cultivators lay them on top. He unhitched from disk and 3 pass down field with cultivator his wallet turned up.

I suspect he really didn't want to go home until he found the wallet, probably a portion of the $400. was mom's grocery money.
