My first memory of driving was a family friend's 560 that Dad borrowed from time to time. I drove while Dad rode the hay rack. I couldn't push in the clutch, Dad would get us started and I'd drive slow around the field (it was pretty flat) while Dad stacked. I could yank it out of 2nd though into N.
One time Dad told me which row to turn to and I turned into the one closer. Too close and I bent the long tongue of our New Holland baler before Dad got the clutch pushed in. Thinking back I can't believe all us kids survived living on the farm. I was the only boy and the youngest of four. I must have been 6 or 7 years old at the time.
I'd say the very first Farmall I rode on was a 650 diesel. Dad said he'd work in the garage all day and plow at night. He was a farming mechanic, LOL. The 650 had a cab and Dad built a box that I slept in while he plowed most of the night away. I begged to go with him everywhere and Mom got tired of it so I went with him no matter what. I was 2 or 3, Dad had a big auction when I was 4. I have one memory of the 650 before it left the farm the day after the auction.
