I Am only 51 ,and am not sure where to start , Except in the final analysis , ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN , And Never KNEW ANYONE WHO got killed , ALWAYS HEARD THAT HAPPENED IN THE NEXT STATE . Over the last 45 yrs , A lot of changes in Attitudes , economics , social values , and jobstyle, life style and equipment size and FIELD SPEEDS , This job was about the safest one ,. Dad used to have 5 or more of us neighbor boys riding the back bd of a grain drill,, We picked up quartz rocks and tossed them in a half barrel, And would dump them out at the end fence rows
,My Younger Brother from age
6-10 Loved riding on the 430 case ,While DAd cut Hay , He Sat on the Clutch Side small Tool Box , When He was 10 Dad felt He knew enuf to mow in 2nd gear While He Watched, . Bob will be 48 soon and has his own place now . ,We all Rode the tongue many hours next to grain tank of JD 25 and 30, When we moved up to a self propelled , I Would climb up the back of a 203 combine while combining with a wisk broom to brush soy beanchaff off motor and air intake , even used a fire extinguisher while moving when the durn thing caught fire .. RODE the back rail behind the pickup side on the NH68 baler .Hundreds of times .Doubled up riders on a WD ally And Case DC And 800 bringing hay in from the feild ,Had neighbor kid riders while Raking, Planting And Discing , Just never did realize a liability risk factor THEN... And Honestly You Could not keep the kids Away ,, We and they all ,were Interested in What was happenning Down on The Farm , And didn't mind the Work , Dirt , And Loved the outdoors .. And the fartherest thing from anyones mind in case of injury was a Lawsuit,,, neighbor kid broke his arm somehow hooking up plow ,,Farmer Took Care of The Medical bill and That was That ... Time changes everthing !!(sigh) My2cents ,rather 2 bits , Jim

I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches.
