My grandfather on my dad's side was just telling us a story about that after we found an old picture of him on an H. He and his father were bailing or loading hay in the mid to late 40s. Pop (my Dad's father) was on the wagon and Pop's Dad, Edgar, was pulling the wagon with a fairly new Farmall H. They farmed on some steep hills that Pop said "should have only been farmed with horses". They were stopped up on the hill, Pop on the wagon, when the tractor started rolling down the hill. Edgar ran after it for a while but the tractor and wagon kept picking up speed. Pop yelled for him to quit for fear he'd fall and be ran over. The tractor rode down to the bottom of the hill and flipped. He said they repaired it, as tractors were still hard to get after the war, but he said it never was right after that and they later sold it. We sat there for a little, absorbing the story when someone asked "Wait, where were you then while the tractor and wagon rolled? Did you jump off?". Matter-of-factly Pop just said "Oh no, I was on the wagon". He rode it the whole way. Somehow he came out unscathed.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
