Dad bought his first tractor when he still had four draft horses, a 1937 F-12 on steel in 1943, for $400. Nothing was available new or had been for several years because of the war. In 1948 he bought a new E-3 CO-OP on rubber, with starter, lights, hydraulics and live PTO. This was pure luxury. By then I was 8 years old and the F-12 was all but retired. At that age I would drive it up a hill, steep enough that even with the steel wheels it would roll backwards down the hill. That is when I dropped the clutch and the front end would rear up, seems like the front wheels would be a couple feet off the ground. A now 71 year old neighboring farmer is still talking about this and how lucky we were not to kill ourselves. When his dad found out about our fun, son did not come over to play anymore. My dad never knew about it.
