Thanks for the picture. When I was on the farm during the late 30s early 40s, years 1 through 9, we had an F-12 with double rear wheels and double rows of lugs. The farm we were on was a muck farm in Michigan. The muck was very wet, badly drained, loam. My dad often got stuck in that water-soaked muck. He claimed that all you have to do when stuck with that tractor was just put wooden fence post under those lugs and you could 'walk right out'. However, as I remember the neighbor often came over and pulled him out with his dozer.

I drove that tractor pulling a wagon, loaded the wagon with muck using a shovel and unloaded the wagon in the yard when I was five years old. Today that would be child abuse.

Back then we all did what we could to survive.

Thanks again for the post.
