Chuck mentions being part squirrel back then.
The uncomfortable tractor situation has parallels in housing.   Space is a 
premium here in Forsyth County, GA. so too many homes built in last fifteen 
years are two story.   People moving into the area had little choice and too 
frequently wound up with a two story house without a bedroom on the main 
floor. Many are now beginning to realize the importance of that error.
We were fortunate in that our first priority was several acres of reasonably 
flat ground.  We were lucky and have five acres of reasonably flat ground 
and couple bedrooms on main floor.

Y'all,
'Tis indeed vexing how tractor mounting and other stretch exercises wane
with age.  The light and bouncy AC B and the Farmall A mentioned here as
hard to mount are in fact that way, but when I wuz a teen, didn't think
a bit 'bout bending, climbing or stretching to get on either one.
Climbing up to view gas or water level on a Farmall H was a bigger
stretch.  Compared to now, was part squirrel back then.
