Take these responses in the way they are meant, as SERIOUS responses expressing SERIOUS concern over your safety and your kids' safety. You're getting "hollered at," nothing more. It's not malicious or unfriendly, it's in fact quite the opposite. It's out of genuine concern.
You probably know that the tractor isn't a toy, but what you don't realize is how easily you or your kids can get hurt or killed around that tractor, especially if you don't know what you're doing.
Yes, even the age of the tractor matters. The fact that you're not even close on the tractor's age just further displays how little you understand about it, and raises the level of concern.
The tractor has NO safety equipment whatsoever, and must be treated with all due respect. A small kid playing with the switches and swinging his legs as he sits in the seat could easily cause the tractor to start up and start moving. He panics, tries to jump off, and gets run over... It happens. More than people care to admit. That's why you should never let your kid play on the tractor.
This tractor may or may not have these controls, along with possibly many more that could've been added by your father in law or a previous owner over the years:
1. Starter button
2. Ignition switch
3. Light control knob
4. Carburetor choke rod
5. Belt pully drive engagement rod
6. Hydraulic control rod(s)
On a "naked" tractor like this, everything is out in the open and easily traced. You should be able to figure out what rod goes where pretty easily.
