When my oldest brother was about 9, Dad took him out to the field to harrow some corn with the 8N Ford. They got the tractor started and down the field he went. Dad went back to the house to get ready for his day. Pretty soon brother came running over the hill. I guess as the engine started warming up, a big bullsnake didn't care for the excess heat and started coming out. He started to wrap around the vertical exhaust, only making him madder. When dad and brother got back to the tractor the snake had wrapped himself around the steering wheel like he was guarding the tractor so no one would steal it! About 25 years ago I was planting milo with the 806 in the late spring. The tractor had a poor cab on it, but it was better than nothing. I had the tractor started and was headed down the field. I had used the tractor the day before and since it was spring, I had taken the feed sack out from in front of the radiator that had been there all winter. Felt something on my foot so I reached down to move it thinking the sack had gotten caught on my shoe. It was a bullsnake also. It didn't take long for me to get out of the tractor, since we do have some rattlesnakes around here. I jumped out of the tractor while it was still moving. Luckily I was going really slow so I could reach up and shut off the tractor. After getting the tractor shut off, I saw no sign of that snake. Made for an uncomfortable morning in that tractor.
