My first time 'solo' was on a Farmall C. I must have been three or four and had been watching this tractor stuff pretty close. The tractor was parked next to a large veggie garden.While dad was tending to something in the garden I climbed up,pulled the ignition knob and gave the starter loop a pull. She started right up,only it was in gear and off we went! I thought I was doing a stroke of business till the old man (must have been all of 25) sprinted across the garden, climbed up and shut off the tractor. That was the end off my tractor driving for quite a while , I wasn't the only one to catch it that day, Mom tore him a new one for not watching me close enough!
