M Nut, we might have had the same father. One of my early memories was him plowing the garden with Tom and Jerry. Don't remember him doing anything else with them, and I imagine he sold them in '52 to raise money to buy the 8N. We always had some horses around, and he couldn't resist a cheap horse, so we all learned to ride on one renegade or another.
He got into driving after he retired, and once he wanted to take 3 outfits to the "Tugs and Hames" meet, about 3 miles from his house. He and my wife and I each drove a rig. Dad had the flashiest horse, of course, and he got out ahead of us on the way home. Trouble was, the horses my wife and I were driving were a little over fat and under fit- hers, especially. Finally got to the point where hers refused to continue, about a half mile from home. We found that he would lead, so I got ahead of her, tied him to the back of my buggy with a 20 foot rope, and "towed" him home. Still remember my dad on the porch, roaring with laughter, as my much smaller horse towed Roly Poly down the driveway.
