This is something that my younger brother to this day will not own up to. Back about 1974 we used to live in Cusick, WA and rented horse pasture from some folks. They had a big red tractor in the barn and we used to play on it.

Looking back now I know I would be pi$$ed if my 2 boys did the same thing. Thanks for the not so proud memories :)
