I had just finnished rebuilding the engine and radiator on my 1929 IH 10-20 on steel. I decided that a tractor show that weekend was the perfect place to break in the new engine. I took a girl I was going out with at the time. The show was the steam engine show at Greensburg OH. They had a large dirt pile to use as an incline. I wanted to see how well the governor was adjusted so I drove it right up and over the very steep incline. It did great! Then the girlfriend wanted to drive it around so I gave her lessons and she did ok until she decided to go up the incline. I was sitting on the fender at the time and she was doing fine UNTIL we got almost to the top when she decided to push in the clutch! we started backwards and I yelled, "Don"t stop!", she dumped the clutch and the old 10-20 popped a wheelie. I didn"t know a 10-20 would do that! Then as we rounded the top of the hill she pushed in the clutch again and we freewheeled down the other side! I didn"t know a steel wheel tractor would go that fast! After that ride from hadies I had to go get a beer out of the cooler to help with the frazzeled nerves and thank the Good Lord for saving us. Crazy thing is she wanted to go do it again! I made her keep it to level ground the rest of the time she drove it.

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
