I want to thank Don and the others for the good old days post. I was all set to spend the day being po'd and talking to myself as I drove when I read that post, now I'm taking a walk down memory lane instead. That post got me to thinking about how I played as a kid and some of my best memories are of the toys I built. Lol I know my mom had a pic, but I don't know where it went, of a corn picker I built out of wood to go on my Radio Flyer wagon. It had snoots that hung off the side and an elevator that went up in the back and a hitch to pull my brother's wagon behind for the corn. The picture mom had was of me pulling it with my bicycle and picking the front lawn. My brother was following behind to get the full wagon and take it to unload. I remember that day like it was yesterday.
I also built a sprayer for it by putting a valve, T and cross pipes on a 15 gal. barrel. I remember not having caps for the pipe ends so I crushed them and welded them shut, the drilled holes in the pipe for nozzles. My folks thought it was very cute til I decided I needed real weed killer and filled the barrel with 1/2 water 1/2 gas because I knew gas killed weeds. I remember dad thinking it was funny that my brother Bruce was the tank agitator by sloshing the tank back and forth. He didn't figure out that was to keep the gas mixed with the water till the grass in the back yard died in strips.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
