I don't even remember. Not over 10 or 12 at the oldest. Probably nearer 10 because I bought a nice Oliver 77 when I was 14. I used to go to Archbold with Dad all the time and I had a permanent number at a young age. They'd give you a permanent pin that pinned to your shirt or hat. My number was 2500. Dad's was 2045. I've still got that pin around here somewhere.

Joe lowered his voice and asked Kendall "Who is that?". Kendall said "It's Dick's boy". Joe said "Oh,alright". Guess he thought it might be some kid who was gonna skin him out of fifty cents. LOL

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king.
