Wow...that brings back some memories. A neighbor farmer hired me (at .75 an hour) to ride his combine in the fall of '58 when I was a mere 17. It was an Oliver with it's own little 4 cyl. water cooled engine and he pulled it with his recently acquired WD-45 Allis. We did all of his oats plus a couple other farms. The weather was hot so I didn't wear a shirt. The first hour or so I would itch like crazy but after that I didn't even notice.
