Greygoat, I am 48. I do remember that my dad had some type of pull-type combine or swather that I would play on and turn the reels... and get yelled at for it. Also would climb to the top of his parked elevator and make it tip like a teeter-totter, then run back down it...got yelled at for that too.*Now as a parent, I understand WHY.
But I really cannot recall a self-propelled combine without a cab. But then I did not pay a whole lot of attention to farming or tractors back then - I had older brothers, so I never helped with actual planting or harvest. I chased piglets, puppies and kittens. Then my brothers were in a car train accident when I was 9. One brother died, the other nearly died and had a long recovery (also my oldest sister's husband died in that accident too)... all this less than 30 days after my dad's father died. With three deaths in our family, I think dad became depressed for awhile. At that time dad stopped farming and rented the 80 acres out (he kept his factory job). So after 9 years old... no more farming, no more livestock, no more farmlife memories. Sad, because I loved it. SweetFeet
