I grew up in the 50s. My dad bought our '51 8N (used) in 1953. I was 10. The TV series Roy Rogers was a staple for me and I really liked Nellybelle, the Jeep. driven by Pat Brady. It was a 1946 Willeys CJ-2A. I spent hours cultivating corn and soy beans, that first year, daydreaming about me driving Nellybelle. The Sherman combo trans gave me thrills driving home on public roads for lunch or dinner. Watchout everyone, Nellybelle and me are on the road. (fortunately lightly traveled areas) As I grew older, my duties grew to include plowing and fitting ground and later to picking corn and combining wheat or beans. We had also acquired a Farmall H. It took on the heavier work. Years later, when my kids came along, they only knew the tractor as Nellybelle. She resides in my barn yet today and my kids and grandkids still call her Nellybelle. For the last 25 years her only duties have been tractor shows and hayrides, until this year. I had my 16 yearold granddaughter driving and pulling my Agrifab lawn vacuum while I guided the hose sucking up the piles of leaves that she had made while driving my golf cart and pulling the Agrifab lawn sweep. Nellybelle will go to my oldest son when I can't drive anymore.
