I was about 4 when Grandpa let me drive his 404 IH combine. I had to sit on his lap cause I couln't reach the pedals, but I steered and made the turns at the end of the rows cutting beans, Had to wear bandanas over nose because that combine was open cab, man the dust would fly! I later about 8 or9 I saw solo duty on a TD 6 buldozer clearing fence rows and on a 50s model case backhoe digging field tile ditches. About the same time they had me mowing with a ferguson to20 and a AC C. Grandpa had Dad start out real young on a H and M. Grandpa fitted the pedals with wood blocks so he could reach the pedals. He drove the M and feed wagon 30 miles one way 3 times a week to feed cattle. he said it took him 6 hours to do it including hand shoveling the feed.
