First diesel I drove was in about '64- I was about 15 or 16. I worked for a neighbor, haying with an Allis D14 and a JD 40. Went over one day, boss had a bit of a twinkle in his eye- said "I parked the tractor up in the barn- why don't you run up and get it."
Walked in the barn, and there was a brand new shiny Oliver 550 diesel with Freeman loader. Prettiest thing I ever saw. Started it up, and was instantly hooked on diesel forever. Loved the smell, loved the sound, everything about it.
