In 1955 I was 6 years old and my parents bought an 80 acre farm where we moved to live. Dad bought a 1943 H to farm with, and I still remember riding on the drawbar the day he picked it up and drove it to the farm. I don't know exactly how old I was when I started driving that H, but probably about 8, when my legs were long and strong enough. In a few years we started farming some additional land, about 200 acres total, so Dad bought another H with a 2 row mounted corn picker. That tractor (with the picker attached) was lost in a barn fire while a neighbor had borrowed it to get in his corn. Insurance helped buy a replacement, but Dad shortly traded it in on a brand new Farmall 340 in 1960. In the mid-60's sometime, he also bought a 1956 400 diesel. Although I don't farm it any longer, I still live on the original 80 acre farm, and we still have the H, 340 and 400 plus a 1957 450 and a 1937 F-12. My Dad passed away 4 years ago, but left me with lots and lots of good memories of growing up working on a farm.
