Either a JD 51-"G" or a 53-"60", don't remember which!

I grew up on this one, a 58 720D ES, the 51- "G" was traded in on it when I was 9. ~~ grnspot

That was a "Horse" of a tractor in its day. Ken Sweet

Ken,

A 1949-53 Minneapolis Moline ZA row crop when I was 7 or 8. That tractor was the beginning of the end for our two Percherons.

The MM was quite popular in the fifties and sixties. My next door neighbor had one in 73 and loved it. Ken Sweet

I was a city kid that took tractor safety in 4-H. First tractor operated was a JD 620 pulling a harrowgate. Had to keep my foot on the shifter so it would stay in 4th gear or it would jump out. 13 years old. Later that year I got to run a new JD 4320 pulling a mounted field cultivator. I thought I was king of the world. Now 52 years old and still part time farming after work and week ends. These were my rides this fall. The Deere pulling a grain cart and the Ford pulling a chisle plow. How things have changed..

3010 john deere. I was 8 or 9, and Dad said to go get on the tractor and drive it someplace. Had to do it. Got up there and did it.
