Just kidding, but tractors have changed a bit since I was 14 trying to figure out how to finesse an Allis-Chalmers with a large disc cultivator trailing me. My preflight orientation consisted of "Here is the throttle. This is the pto...mnnn...oh yea, this is the brake!" "Okay" said I, "but where is the starter button?"
It's been a while, but it put the hook in me and probably gave me an incentive to spend some years in the Seabee's, operating machinery as big as earth movers and dozers with pony engines to, after years of practice, developing highly valuable skills in the safe use and operation of long handled shovels. :thumbsup:
Anyway, my early years operating Tonka toys probably gave me a leg up on enjoying playing in the dirt.
