78Buckshot. Born in 56 on a farm in SW Kansas. Was driving both tractors and vehicles by the time I was 7. Had to use both feet to engage the hand clutch on our Minneapolis. Depending on the vehicle it sometimes took my brother to run the gas/clutch/brake while I steered because couldn't reach both. Farmed about 900 acres and custom cut/chopped another 1,500 acres of customer alfalfa. 12 hour summer days - 7 days a week. During this era my brother drove the tractors and my job was driving the trucks. Did this for 9 years til my dad died.
To shorten this up. Would say I had a heavy foot as always needed to get back to the field before the next truck was full. Never blew a motor that I can remember. Never needed a Governor on our trucks. Same with this one I guess.
