Grandfather, Carlton Johnson, bought the F-14 in 1938, with a two row cultivator. My uncle was old enough at the time to have the muscle to lift the cultivator. My Dad being one of the younger kids, in the family of 9 kids, couldn't lift the cultivator when he was operating it, so Grandpa put the hydraulic lift on the F-14. The F-14 wasn't the first tractor I ever drove, that was a B John Deere as I could handle the hand clutch. The F-14 has such a long throw on the clutch peddle, I just couldn't do it at age 5 years old. A couple of years later I could do it as I had grown a little taller and if I slid off the seat to the left, I could push the clutch in far enough and shift the transmission with my right hand under my right leg while hanging on to the steering wheel with the left hand. I think I was about 10 years old before I could hand crank it to start it. I would put the crank in the upper position and then jump up and put all my weight on it in order to get it to turn. I could only do a half a revolution that way, but that's all it took. Then it was either reverse or road gear, with a top speed of 8 mph, but to a kid my age, that was flying!
