40's something cab over Jeep that dad built into a 4x4 dune buggy looking thing. I'm trying to get it back from my cousin that has it in a barn now.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I brush hogged and cut hay with my grandad's 1937 johnny popper until about 2000. If you could drive that thing you can drive anything.

If my grandad's 1916 Steven's Crackshot doesn't count, then it's this 1949 model manure spreader I purchased a few years back. Still get's used monthly and is a good piece of machinery.  ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-12881-427042-img_6680.jpeg)

I use to mow hay and side dress corn with my grandpas farmall from the 40’s.
He never would let me plant corn with it because he was very particular about planting corn.

In the 1980's, we went to winter survival training in Minnesota. Operated M48A5 tanks in the snow and ice.
When I was 15, my grandpa gave me driving lessons in a 1953 Chevy Bel Air with 3 on the tree.

Oxner would have seen this and said- John Deere stands behind all of their equipment but their manure spreaders, but only after he reminded us he plowed mules.

Still use my '52 Ford 8N tractor regularly.

First thing to come to mind is my buddy's old Ford 600 tractor. It was a model 640 with PTO and 3-point hitch. I used it more than he did, mostly just for mowing. The predecessor to the 8N, it was made in the mid-1950's. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/FzTp0Bj3/Ford-600-Model-640-Tractor.png)
