Franks First Drive | I had a great uncle that was born around 1920 and he used mules to farm all his life. When tow of his boys got old enought to earn a little money they bought a Massey Ferguson model 50.

Well the boys got their Dad started down the field between two rows of baled hay and everything was going good. When they got to the end of the field their Dad started yelling 'Gee', 'Gee'. 'Damm I said Gee'. Well as you know the tractor didn't 'Gee' and ran off the field, through a fence row and up a small bank before coming to a stop.
