Uncle Leonard's 2/9n Ford and couldn't have been over 5/6. He opened the pasture field gate, got the tractor out and parked it in the gateway and showed me how to start it and use the clutch to put it in gear and the throttle. I remember shifting the various gears...they were stamped on the case covering the transmission...and I knew when I put it in "R" which way it would go. By 9 or 10 I was a pretty good hand on an H-Farmall but decided that the squealing brakes on it needed oiling. I think that was my first correction. I didn't get to drive all the time...cause I was the gate opener and once while closing the gate I sure was glad. The muffler on that old "H" was tickling a hornets nest and Jack, the driver looked like a monster when he finally got away from them. He was stung many times in the face. He kept hollering for me to run but I just sat on the front of the hay wagon laughing...finally I decided I better and just as soon as I did, i got popped too. ohfred
