From 1949 until the day he died in 1984, Dad always had either a C or Super C. I still remember the day the first new C was delivered in '49 with a cultivator on it and the dealer "setting it up" and showing how everything worked... I was 7 years old.
In Feb or March of '56 we moved to a smaller 100 acre farm and he bought a "carry-over" new Super C with a bunch of Fast-Hitch implements. By this time, I had a lot of hours on tractors and did almost all the field work while Dad worked off the farm... I was 13 when he bought that one.
Somewhere along the line, probably late '60s/early '70s, they sold the farm and for a short time moved off the farm. Wasn't long before Dad had 7 acres and another C. A few years later, the guy that bought the farm defaulted on his land contract (for about the 10th time) and they moved back to the farm, along with the C. Mom still had that C until shortly before she sold out and moved to town in the early '90s.
Except for about a year when they first left the farm, Dad had one of the best small row crop tractors ever built. It gets my goat now when dealers call anything under about 150 HP as a small tractor.
I always enjoy seeing stories and pictures of them, and now have a 240U with a loader and 3 point myself.
