[AT] threshing day

[Cecil Bearden]

My first combine was a Massey Harris 90.  The early model that did not 
have a clutch, but a hydraulic cylinder connected to the variable drive 
that was controlled by a foot pedal.   There was a 5 second delay from 
run to stop!!   It was really fun when loading and unloading on a truck 
or trailer.  It also had been converted to the Bomber tires that were 
about 5 ft tall and 3 ft wide.  It was great in wet ground until it went 
down.....  It had no traction due to the nearly slick diamond tread...
