Hey Bob, Good luck with your story for Guideposts Magazine. I've attached a picture of me at 12 years old on my Dad's Ferguson TO-30.(1966). Another picture of me and the tractor 40 years later. The tractor has held up better than me. I know the paint scheme isn't right, but it sure is shiny. I can't remember how old I was when I started helping Dad by driving tractors, but I was around 13 or so when I had my biggest mishap. Dad had a Massey Ferguson 65 with an American loader & I was on his Massey Ferguson 50 that was hooked up to a manure spreader. We were in the feedlot & He was loading the spreader & I was taking it out to a near-by field and spreading it out. I was setting on the seat waiting for him to load it up. I was waiting and I had the small Hi-Low shifter in neutral...just day dreaming. He hollered for me to jump off and bring him a scoop shovel. I jumped off, picked up the shovel and started toward him. He yelled and pointed, I turned around and looked. The tractor and spreader was rolling down the hill. I started running after it...he yelled to get the heck out of the way. The MF 50 stopped after it dozed out a windbreak tree down the hill. Dad said I would likely have gotten caught under that rear wheel and run over in trying to stop that run-away tractor. Dad got the tractor fixed,.... it took me awhile to get back in his good graces.
