aian't coming through bird?

I don't know why but that first one will not show up as an image, but the link does work.

Omg, I'd surely mess something up...I even mess up the trolling motor sometimes.....lol.....
Nice shots BIRD, It's nice to take your cam to work with ya.... and oh.....
I think most of us have , but some might not have ever been in a tractor cab before, good thinking!

And trust me, not all the tractor cabs are that nicely equipped...I agree nice "inside" look at Farming!

There's one pnael of controls i forgot to take, I'll try and grab it tomorrow. It will explain what one of those buttons is for on the console.

All those controls and the dust and dirt reminds me when my dad used to drive a truck...he drove for Norman Fred for a while and Norman would let him take the truck home sometimes to detail it up....that's just how my dad was...anyway us being young would just love that...jumping in there , that big ol steering wheel, stick shift, that "smell" and oh when he got the walk bed and the closets we said we was coming along.........
I think they should have more field trips and such out to the farm...People really don't realize what all the farmers do for us and ....what they go through...at least they don't around here anymore....Some of my fam still got a bunch of ground and he gets up early go's out checks the cows and such , goes to his business in town works until 5 and then comes back home and works on the farm until 10 or 11....lots of hard work there....

And trust me, not all the tractor cabs are that nicely equipped...I agree nice "inside" look at Farming!

No kidding! The tractor I learned to drive on had a flywheel starter (see, I told you I'm older than you Gretchen) and the pto was a pulley for belts to operate stationary equipment such as threshers (OK, it was used long before I came along). It also had a hand clutch and two fuel tanks. The first was for gasoline, and the second larger tank could be filled with anything from gasoline to heating oil. Yeah, those Johnny poppers would run on most anything once you got 'em warmed up.
