I asked pappy one day when I was about twelve if he thought I was old enough to learn to run his old Oliver . He said " Boy , putting a kid on a tractor will only do two things . #1 get the kid hurt and #2 tear up a perfectly good tractor ." So , the answer was no . Never could understand his thinking since I was already driving his daddy's old T model truck . Having had kids of my own , I now know exactly what he was talking about .
As an update, I'm supposed to get the tractor in question when I started this thread, back on Wednesday.
Dammit. Be like getting a new tractor, they have had it so long...
