When I was 3 years old my father had a Farmall M. I would sneak out of the house and crawl up onto that thing every chance I got. How I got up onto that seat without breaking my neck is still a mystery. I remember I was sitting on the seat and making all the usual tractor nioses a 3 year-old makes and cranking on that steering wheel, and hearing my mother let out a screech from the house when she discovered I was missing that was so loud my Grandfather came boiling out of the barn. He quickly sauntered over to the tractor and stood by me to convince my mom he was aware that I was there and he had things under control. Still have the photos 61 years later. The M was hooked up to a NH 66 baler at the time. Those were my earliest memories. Been tractor cazy ever since, too.
Oh yeah. within three days Pop had built a fenced encloseure around the back porch! And no, it didn't work. I'd just crawl up the chicken wire and down the other side. Much to the consternation of my mother(and amusment of Pop and my Grandfather).
When Pop traded that M for an 88 Oliver the next year, I was mad at him for several years. I loved crawling all over that M.
