Same here. Learned on Tractors. The art of shifting on a tractor was much more difficult than a car. Drove my dad's Ford with 3 in the tree back up into the 'holler' many times. Single lane road and the closes one to a pull off had to back up. strait up on one side and straight down on the other with only trees to catch you.

@Freebird as someone who who who has had to deal with a major back injury for many years May I suggest before you embark on a ride that Eileen fit herself with a ridged back support belt of either leather or nylon such as used when weight lifting (not the flexible stretch support types ) she may find it helps a lot.

Yep! My dad and my uncle had me sitting in their lap pulling the trucks in the garage when I could barely see between the wheel and dash. Sitting on their lap driving and working the controls on the forklift. Sitting In the middle seat of the box trucks and 3/4 ton pickups shifting gears and shifting the split shift on the stake body as well as working the tilt bed. Come to think of it I manned the helm of the Oliver when pumpkin picking came around because I was too small to lift the pumpkins but could reach the controls for the tractor. Splitting logs with a PTO splitter, running the brush hog on the international. All of this before I was a teen! Unfortunately I’m not living on a property in which I grew up so those are skills I can’t readily pass on to my kids. But the older one can drive stick in a pinch and the younger shall learn soon. Little one wants her MC license too

I did the same with all my kids including the girls and I taught them all how to drive stick.

I've already got my 9 year old driving (he sits on my lap me keeping my foot near the brake) in car parks and when we move our cars around to get out of the driveway. He helps me with jobs on the bike (including doing almost everything under instruction on my RSV clutch change) One of my main aims with him is to instill into him, you have to work to get anything, including getting a driving licence (or drivers license 😀). (I also want him to be at least mildly mechanicly competent)

That's where friends come in handy.

I can pretty much do anything and properly done as well. Having said that though I can paint a vehicle, house painting is my downfall, specially when it comes to rolling. Guaranteed you hand my a roller and tray at some point I will most definitely step in the tray or hit the ceiling several times with the roller.

I don’t know if this is real but I wouldn’t doubt it https://www.facebook.com/1320Videos/photos/a.10151851272862112/10160096439047112/?type=3&source=48
