It finally happened

My dad finally let me drive his truck. He must really trust me since how I'm only 15 and letting me drive something like this with a manual transmission.

at 15 years old, my truck was a 49 international R-9 with a 6 cylinder gas engine, and a quad box trans.
if i did not want to drive the international, i had to drive the john deer 4020 diesel tractor.

Hehe at 14 I learned to drive in a 1941 Ford pickup, 3 on the tree. Out in the sticks, no one cared. What a blast. We went frog hunting later that evening with .410 shotguns. Poor frogs!

At 15, I was driving a '73 International 1310, with a 345 v-8. I beleive that was the year I turned the 727 tranny into a box full of a bunch of broken gears..... I can't believe Dad didn't get too mad about that one.

I still had the truck when my son turned 15. Unfortunately, I sold it before he could get much experience with it.
