[AT] in cab refrigerators?

[charlie hill]

Mike, to this day I still sit most of the time with weight on my legs.  It's 
a habit from hours of riding over rough ground on the tractor.  We never had 
big tractors.  In the fall when we put the disk to
tobacco ground we plowed it in line with the rows first and then went back 
over it at roughly a 45 deg angle the second time.  Daddy usually let me do 
that.  I didn't really mind it and I guess I could take it better than he 
could.  It's a rough ride with a one row tractor rocking back and forth 
under you.

Charlie

Oh, the stories of 16 hours (plus doing the milking) are true.  Saw my dad 
do that and he taught me!  Working ground with a (new) 1944 MM UTU by the 
glow of the muffler so the lights didn t attract bugs (no, cab, just 
straddle the seat) and usually stood to cushion the bumps).  Now, I wonder 
why my legs hurt?  Back then the farm paid for itself (without an of farm 
job).
