[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3591046, member: 7900"] Back in the later '60's, I was stationed in what was then West Pakistan. When they picked us up at the airport and drove us back to the base, I saw a local plowing his field with oxen. I was dumbfounded because even the Panhandle farmers then had pretty good tractors... ...none of them had cabs on them, but they were pretty functional. I know because I drove a number of them. Dad had a McCormack WD-9 tractor, only it ran on LPG and had a bracket for holding two 100 lb LPG cylinders on the front.

It was the "cat's meow" because it had a hand controlled clutch lever. Dad's WD-9 required me to grab the steering wheel with both hands, push in the foot clutch with both feet, and then let one hand loose to shift the tractor into gear. (I was pretty young at that time.) [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ba/75/2e/ba752ee351fb34e499e9d2a95dd7b05e.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
