Larry And The Tractor

I believe my age in this picture is 7 months.Larry The Tractor Driver

                                          I believe my age in this picture is 7 months.  Anyway that's what mother wrote on the print.  It seems to me that they wanted me to farm.  When it was time to go off to college, Dad said he wanted me to go to college and that was the end of farming for me.


                                           

                                             I believe my age in this picture is 19 months. 

Mother thought it was 18 months.  It had to be around August because that is when the Oats was harvested.

I recently came across a web sight, the other day while looking for parts for my lawn tractor/mower. it was http://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors  Peter the guy who has the web site has similar pictures on his website of himself and grandfather and father.  I'm hoping the hear from him about the parts I need for my tractor.

The tractor is Dad's WC Allis Chalmers.  I can tell because it had hand brakes and not foot breaks.  They told me I drove it through the gates at that age with the tractor in low gear and idling.  It seeming to be a big deal to them in later years.

Happy Holidays, all.
