I was in elementary school when dad set the stabilizers down, set the throttle, and said that I know what the levers do, dig some gravel loose while he hauled this load. Probably 3rd grade.
Wasn't long til I figured out I could have the bucket filled waiting on him if I saw him coming back through the barnyard.
I think the 4 stick Ford backhoe controls were swing, lift, bucket, stick. That 555a got traded on a late 2-stick 555b fwa when I was in 6th or 7th grade. That one I could extend the hoe and balance on the back wheels, and drive through mud to the 580 sm to pull dad through the mud while digging field tile.
First tractor I ran regularly was the B with the 16 hayrake in 5th grade. Graduated to the 300 and SM the next summer. In 95 we got a CIH 4240 with a sunshade, we were supposed to rotate between it and the old tractors to get out of the sun. I started on it one day, swapped with my cousin onto the 300, and wouldn't give it back. The sun wasn't as hot as the heat off the engine with the transmission between my knees.
