Rode with Dad a LOT, in fact can't remember ever being turned down when I asked if I could ride along.
Two factors were involved, I suspect.
1. This was 50's and early 60's and farming was done at a MUCH slower pace. Most of our tractors wouldn't go as fast in "road gear" as folks till and plant at these days.
2. Dad didn't own a rotary mower, and I don't recall ever riding (or asking to) when running a sicklebar.
Also, this was pre OSHA/Nanny State. Cars didn't have seatbelts. Helmets and pads were unheard of for riding bicycles. Mom's didn't carry Anti-bacterial Everything everywhere they went. If Momspit couldn't fix it, you were gonna die...
And before B&D comes all unglued, I ain't saying it was better then or what's standard now is bad, I'm just saying it was different.
