I actually knew of an old man that did this. He was in his 90's and at some point in his life, decided he would run the tractor stark naked. Was literally only wearing his boots. He lived way far out in the country...except his property abutted the interstate. :lol: How he never got caught is beyond me.
Thinking about it, depending how far his fields were from the highway, they were either unable to see details at 80 mph, or they simply didnt believe their eyes! The older tractors had you sitting up under the steering wheel pretty close!

His property was directly beside the highway. Everyone local knew for a fact he was stark naked up there. Whizzing by on the interstate (65 mph at the time) had to have been a case of, "Honey, did you see that??? I swear to gawd that old man on that tractor was naked!!!" :lkick: FWIW, though, things back then weren't as all-out crazy as they are now. Any responding LEO would've probably just told him to go home and put some clothes on.

Round here some of the old fellas use the sound of the screaming engine as an indication that it might be time to change gear soon :lol:

Remember the old 'standard shift'? I knew a guy that could change gears without using the clutch just by listening to the sound that engine was making. I tried it several times, but could never 'get the hang of it'...

I did “slip-shifting” while driving semi-trucks. It took very little time to master, and was much easier than “double clutching.” For most of my time driving, I hauled hazardous chemicals in smooth-bore tanks. You better know how to slip shift if you want to avoid pounding the hell outta your kidneys.

Piece o' cake, Cappy ! Just become one w/ the machine & let it sing to ya

Lol, this for Dennis, too...me and 'machines' just don't get along at all. They apparently don't like me and I, therefore, don't care much for them either.

As a, 'ferinstance'...I've had this vehicle for about 5 or 6 years now...and always before I had to push the little lever 'in' to turn the headlights on. About 2 months ago, my battery started going dead on me. Something kept draining the 'juice' out of it. Son-in-law checked it out...and now I have to lift the little lever 'out' to turn the lights on. See how the 'little beastie' done me? And yes, Folks...those 'things' are alive. It's just a 'life-form' we haven't 'acknowledged' yet.
