While at times it may have been a little unsafe to let youngsters do some of the farm work/logging work it provided a generation of people that knew how to work, unlike today where we have a generation of young people that don't know anything other than and are happy to safely sit on the couch and play video games...at the age they should be in the workforce and using the experience to raise the next generation.

You are right, I started feeding rabbits at 8, got to over 300 to feed twice a day. I could not carry a half bucket of water with soaking my legs. We butchered and sold to stores until USDA became a thing.

OK, so I was wrong. Some people will do anything when they have too much money.

I was about 6 when my Dad built a tractor for my brother & me. Some model T parts, some old farm equipment parts, some garden plow parts, etc.. I expect that we drove it about a million miles around our place, cotton gin, and old feed mill. Older neighbor boy drove us in town fair parade.

Age 7 for me, gramps 340 utility with a Wagner loader, with my uncle on the fender to run the clutch. I sprouted in height fast, so I was on the combines, 91 planetary and 93 at 10, and the 706Ds. Two-stick 10 wheeler at 11

How much were the rims and tires and any other mechanical stuff needed?

Tires and rims were duals off my Deere 4010--I made the adapters--Back then Deere green at the local dealer was 20 bucks a gallon and yellow was 6 bucks a quart--decals were cheap--What else??

Big Tee, been thinking about my post and I must tell you the truth. I was just jealous. Jealous of the fact that you not only have the money to do that but also jealous that you have the talent and the machinery to accomplish it.

I feel better now.
