I think I started riding when I was about 2 1/2-3 years old. Mom was green chopping in some really tall grass, and I snuck out of the house on Grandma. I was wearing a little red hoodie and my Mom only stopped because she was watching the grass move towards her, and out popped me in my bright red hoodie. She didn't have much choice but to let me up and give me a ride back to the barn.

I don't think there was hardly ever a moment for a few years where Dad went out without me. I rode on the fender of the 1600 sometimes, but I had less to hold on to and Dad used it much less. We also had the 165 since I was in 1st grade, but that one stayed at the barn most of the time.

I could ride all day and not get tired.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
