I was 4 years old, and my Dad had a Carter front end loader on a Farmall H. He parked the tractor under the edge of a peach tree, set the brakes, and put me on the seat. Then he spent a few minutes letting me learn how to lift the loader by pulling the hydraulic control rod, and how to let it down by setting the little "bump" on the rod below the bracket and then pushing it with my foot. The hydraulic line to the loader had a flow control valve in it that he had adjusted to let the loader down slowly. Then he got in the loader with a basket, and picked peaches as I raised the loader when he told me to. We worked all the way around the tree like that, and I thought I was the biggest kid in the world.

When I was 7, I got to rake hay with the Farmall B, and by the time I was 8 I was following the combine with the H and a wagon. The best part of that job was eating all the wild blackberries in the fencerows!
