Actually, most of my early experience with machines were with tractors. Yep, on the farm, at least one was in need of repair of some sort, at all times.

I got my first road vehicle when I was 14 (my grandfather gave it to me). My very first vehicle was a 1937 Chevrolet pickup, which took the brunt of my learning curve......

I remember one fine day, while working the fields, that one could "wire the governor open" for a burst of power, to get through the wet spots in the field, by running a long piece of bailing wire from the governor arm up to the seat of the tractor.

Yep, sort of like a shot of nitrous ..........

However, I also learned NOT to let the wire get close to the magneto, that was sort of like pissing on a spark plug ......
