A few first"s come to mind.
My first tractor was an 8N at 4 or 5 years old. Knew about the clutch but didnt know about the brakes. I was real surprised when i stepped on the clutch while rolling down hill and I didnt stop.
At 6 years old, as I was coming home on the bus, I saw Dad and a hired man stacking hay. When I got home, nobody was home.
