This happen to me! John Deer A

[Larry59]

My friend has an old 1949 A John Deer with a big loader on the front. I
Think it is a real neat tractor to see and hear start up are go down the road.
“Well he said, Larry you can jump on it and use it anytime you want”.
Wow! I thought and up I went on to it. Started and down the road I went
with a big smile on my face. But then came to making a turn. I found that
I was weak and this tractor did not want to turn to dang good! But then I did get it turned and I was breathing a bit hard as I returned to my place with it.
But then it happen! I decided to park it up next to my chicken house. So as I pulled
Up, I forgot one thing! Was not a clutch down on the floor to hit. .. shessss
Just as I was to the building with that loader on front. I hit the lever clutch but was way
to late. Ha ha My chicken building leaned to one side then and still does to this day!
Now the tractor I have now is wide in front and “Power Steering” . Been a year now and I have not failed to lose memory of that day. Besides I see the chicken shed every time I go outside.

Even if you are used to the hand clutch if the old man just got done tightening it up mom would have a heck of a time pulling it back.
One time she had to drive round the whole block (4 miles) with 2 hayracks cuz she couldn't pull the clutch out. Dad had to run and jump on the tractor her next time around to get it stopped. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

I guess you would have really laughed if she would have hit the barn or a cow.
