I wasn’t big enough to operate the foot clutch on the “late model” tractors, but I could lean on that hand clutch and get things done. I doubt I was in double digits yet, age wise.
I done a reply to yours. We ate a lot of dust in those days also, right?
Memories of a Nebraska childhood. Those old John Deeres, some with the yellow, square sun shade pulling a little...what? 3 bottom plow? “Chook, chook, chook...”

PR64I learned on an old Jeep. Don't know what year the Jeep was.
My Uncle took me out on the ranch in a field and said...Break, gas and clutch pedal. Told me how to use them and then said "drive"
Drive I did. I was probably about 13.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming…......WOW! WHAT A RIDE!

LBAR15Cool thread! 1977 Chrysler Lebaron. My dad would take me on the weekend to the train station near our house. He let me drive around the big parking lot for hours while he read the Sunday papers in the passenger seat.
A couple weekends in when he was feeling like I could control the car well, knew where the corners were and was getting smooth, he asked me if I wanted to drive it home? I'll never forget the shock I felt, "Wait, you went me to do what??!!" Good memories!
