My parents both grew up on farms in mid-Michigan. I was city born and my world crashed as we moved to the farm when I was 7. My first experience "driving", 1950, was on an old Oliver Hart-Parr 70. Dad put it in 1st gear, let off the clutch and stepped off the hitch to grab an old horse drawn board scraper to move some dirt. Beyond scaring the crap out of me, that is all that I remember of that experience. In 1953 he bought the '51 8N. I started discing, spring tooth harrow and then cultivating. Many memories and "adventures" with an 8N and a Sherman Combo transmission. Dad then bought the 1948 Farmall H. We did a lot of work with both tractors. Plowing they were an even match for speed. The H with a 2-14 trailer plow and 3rd gear and the 8N with a 2-14 mounted plow and 2nd gear were dead even for plowing. The "H" is long gone. I still have the 8N, 67 years.
