I grew up with a 1953 super c. when I was two or three, Id look at the manual, before I could read. Momma told dad someday when he was done with that tractor, It was mine. that was 1966.
Fast forward to 1996. dad decided to sell the farm. Momma had passed away. I protested the sale with all I had. But me being the youngest, I was overruled.
Folks, dividing up an estate can bring out the WORST in people. My brother and sister had come down, and started squabbling over things. I got so upset over their greed, I went down to the barn.....and stayed there. dad came down and asked me what was wrong. I told him I wanted no part of this, and I was going home. Fighting over what he and mom had worked for just wasnt right..
Dad seemed to understand. he said "before you go, hook up the trailer and take the super c with you. you can have the trailer too"
so I did, and loaded every two point implement that went with it.
When I came to the house with the load, that didn't set well with my brother and sister at all. I grabbed my checkbook and wrote dad a check for $2500.
Dad took one look at the check, got red faced, tore it up and threw the pieces at me. he turned to my brother and sister and said, " you two ought to be ashamed of yourselves'! I rolled out.
I was happy to get the super c, but that day, it wasn't the joyous occasion I thought it would be. I realized a big chapter of my life was closing, no more farm. as I thought about this, I cried.
The tractor is sitting in the garage, now restored. dad is gone now, out of all my iron, it's still my flagship.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family’s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
