Dad's old John Deere had a front scoop on it and the flywheel or whatever that was called was tiny and I could not even move it. Dad was the only one that could start it. I learned to drive on that monster. So tall. I just googled and i didn't see any like his. not old enough.

They offered him dang near anything he wanted but he was an old school farmer that wasn't gonna do anything different.
He wouldn't even change his clocks for daylight savings.
You work for him you work on George Fox time. lol
That old tractor still had the steel wheels.

That is pretty close Stiggy, was there a smaller starter wheel? You just made me remember the steering wheel was rubber and really little.
