37 Chief,
That's great that your grandson is showing interest in your tractors. (I worry that our grandson will be crazed by video gaming... because our son-in-law is really into that stuff.)
Dad had me very slowly drive his old John Deere A while he hand-picked ears from corn left standing as a snow fence. But I was such a scrubby kid that I couldn't pull back on the hand clutch to stop it - so dad had to come running out of the corn and hop on the tractor. He didn't really put me on there after that day because I had two big brother's who usually helped with farm stuff.
My husband said he began running the tractor and baler when he was 7 years old, so his dad and his uncle could stack the hay. And he ran it every time thereafter.
I remember a neighbor kid whose parents had him drive their grain truck to the elevator a couple miles away - starting when he was only about 6 or 7. (I remember my folks discussing between themselves that it was a bit crazy to let that child out on the open road.)
