A WD45 and we still have it. The first tractor that I ever did anything with was a 7050 and I was disking. Dad told me to drive staight so if an airplane flew over, my job would look good for them.

WD 45. Working ground ahead of the drill. I liked being in the same field as dad. The dog always followed me round after round. Dad would say to the dog "I feed you EVERY day but you never follow me in the field."

when I was 6 yrs old my grandpa told me to drive his R moline up from the field. I don't know if I was considered alone because I picked up my 2 sisters & gave them a ride. I remember my grandpa was really mad at me for giving them a ride. They were 7 & 8 but hadn't ever driven either. My oldest son drove my 38 B when he was 4 , while I threw round bales on the rack. I remember he couldn't reach the clutch from the seat , so he'd drop down on the transmission when he pushed in on the clutch & when he let it out he'd pop back up on the seat. Boy would osha love to see that now.

Alone was an AC B, pulling a small spring tooth drag. Second tractor I ever drove (albeit with the owner sitting on the fender) was an IH 1256, plowing with 6 16's. Kind of a big gap in horsepower there. lol....

39Allis B at about 7 or 8. Can't remember if it was pulling the ear wagon at corn huskin time or cultivating tomatoes with Dad and Grandpa Aggen walking those old one wheel horse pulled cultivators behind. Turning around at the row ends was the hard part. I remember it was a handcrank and if I stalled it I got a good chewin out.

AC WD Pulling an 8' IH disc working plowed ground first time over. With the narrow front it bounced and the steering wheel jerked where ever it wanted to go. I was maybe 6-7 at the time but as I recall it did the same thing when I was 16-17 when I had the strength to hang on to the steering wheel.

My first was a AC model "G". My grandfather used it to pull small carts and an orchard sprayer. I had driven riding mowers and such, but the G was the first "tractor", if you can call it that. Anywho, I drove it into the field and got it stuck right away- pretty good too! We had to wait until the ground froze the next day to get it out!
