I feel old based on a lot of the comments here.I am in my 50's. First real off the farm job as a senior in high school was at Winchester Milling Co. I drove aton druck out to get ear corn to bring in to be ground for feed and then hauled the sacked feed back out. Loaded that truck with a scoop shovel the elevator was only taken out with the big truck single axle dump 14' box. We would go out together in the spring and summer to haul in from the cribs. Load the big truck he would leave to the mill and I would load the ton truck and head in was ok when first starting a crib a lot of shoveling as it got down. I was expected to be back in time to help shovel the big truck and shovel the ton truck by myself.
Also delivered coal. seemed like I got all the particuler ones that wanted the coal load with a coal fork by hand and then watered down even when it was 0 degf. Had the privelage of climbing in the coal windows of houses to move the coal back as some people would almost run out then order enough to fill it up to the ceiling so as to pay less delivery charge. One old lady gave me a pan of brownings and I was foolish enough to leve in the mixing house till lunch wasn't much left for me by then.
Ole well I was young and could do it then can't do it now

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
