It took the U.S. Army to get me my first tractor ride. I was stationed in Alverado Tx. in 1965&66. I worked only at night and had my days off.

Had to hand crank it.When someone would ask how I was able to get it running, I would just say that it was a matter of making friends with it. I was 22 years old at the time.
