62 D19 I bought just before I graduated high school in 87. Unless you count a non running WD my Dad gave me a couple years earlier. A 1952 that was one of his first tractors Dad bought. It's finally restored now.

1940 JD Am pulled from the edge of a timber. I had to beat the pistons out with a 16# maul and a 2x4. I used it for pushing snow with a home made 2x6 wood blade. That was in 1978.

I first drove a 600 Ford in the tobacco patch for the neighbor.
Then Dad bought a JD 720 diesel that I actually got my experience on.
Finally, MY first tractor tractor that I bought and own is my '57 D14 nf. Dad liked it so much that he basically paid for all the parts and I did all the work on it. He knew that I couldn't afford to pay for all that stuff at once so he jumped in and helped. He was determined that we were going to use it to mow our 4 acres with and it was costing about the same as a good lawn mower.

The WD45 my Dad gave me after I busted my butt to repaint it and get it back together for his fathers day gift. LOL It was always his favorite tractor, I finished it about a week before fathers day and he tells me since I put so much time effort and money into the old girl he thought I ought to have it. I told him I did it for his fathers day gift and he just laughed and said he appriciated that but he still thought I ought to have it. So my first tractor was a WD45 and my first implement was a 6 bottom 16" plow (we pulled with Dad's 7060).
The first tractor I bought was a 1975 7060 that I still have.

My Dad and his brother bought a COOP E3 new and that did not work well. Lots of who gets it today. Dad sold him his half and bought a used '49 WD in '50. My folks couldn't believe I remember everything about the dealership which wasn't there long after that and picking it up and all. I was THREE at the time.
My first tractor was a JD B hand start bought for $50.00

57 WD45 became mine 2 years or so ago, and officially mine when Grandpa passed away this October. Learned to use a foot clutch on it. Hand clutch was always VERY jumpy so I had to learn fast lol.
