Very cool. When I was little Dad or my Uncle would do the same with me on his '48 Farmall H. That very tractor sits in the garage all restored and proud to this day. Many many great memories.

I too really want to add a Super C to my collection. We camp at a local KOA campground about 45 minutes south of here. I've been going there my whole life, my parents started going there a few years before I was born (21 years ago) We have a perm spot on the campground. The old owner of the place had a early 50s Super C that he used to move campers around, move decks, sheds, and pull the hay wagon. Every time I heard it fire up I'd ride around the campground on my bike to find it and see what he was up to. He knew I was always fascinated by the old Farmall, and was sure to let me sit on his lap and steer the old Super C back to the equipment barn after it's job was done. I always felt like such a badass as I'd be steering the super C on down the stone roads of the campgrounds while the other kids played in the sand box with their toy tractors watching me go by. He always told me as soon as I turned 16 he'd give me a job at the campground doing hayrides where I could drive the SC by myself. Each weekend we were there I counted down the years until I was old enough to drive it myself. I was so close, and he and his family sold the place to a new guy, and moved to Florida. I'm now 21, and the guy who runs the place now still uses the Super C from time to time, but it's not the same. Ever since then I've wanted one of my own. I'd love to have that very one, but I doubt the old man would part with it.
