Remember the Gravely?

Recently I was out for a motorcycle ride in Woodstock, Ill. and I noticed a Gravely dealer. Remember Dad's tractor?

I didn't stop to ask about tractors...

What were all those power attachments on Dad's tractor out at the farm? I seem to remember a power take-off and also a plow. And there was the seat on two wheels and the little trailer.

I remember one disagreement that Dad and I had about the garden. I wanted to be the Onion King of Wild Horse Creek Road. He thought I meant planting them, but I really meant just eating them.

Remember pulling those little ones out of the ground, rinsing them off, sprinkling on a little salt and digging in?
