I'm one of those want a B farmers . As a kid I was raised in a family of 11 kids . So my Dad always had a tractor . The first one waas a Massey Pony until he rolled it over an embankment . So he bought a Ford 640 new . He used land from shut down farms to raise acres of potatoes , sweet corn , & vegetables . We ate what we grew & never went hungry . I started driving his tractors at 7 yrs of age . Then in the 60s he hired his tractor out to the highway dept to mow berms & I was the operater . A lot of good memories . I remember doing the crops with the sickle bar hanging on the side while doing all the field prepping . His last Ford was a special ordered 601 Workmaster with the heavy duty frt axle . I wish I would've bought it from him in the 70s but my wife gave me the altimatum - her or the tractor . I finally bought my first tractor (9n) in the 80s . Then in 1999 traded up to a 640 . Then she walked out on me .After that I had a Sherman hi/lo installed in it . Now I also have a 1952 8n Funk conversion I'm slowly restoring . I installed a Sherman hi/lo in it myself . So anxious to get it running to be a show tractor only . That's my want a be a farmer life story . Ken
