We spend our summers up in WA and my DH is active in a tractor show they have there every August. This year I decided I wanted to drive his little tractor in the tractor parade. I've never been on a tractor, much less driven one. My SIL's BIL made, and mounted, a metal "step" just for me so I could get on it and my DH taught me how to drive it. The tractor originally belonged to DH's uncle, his cousin gave it to him and he completely refurbished it.
DH has a bigger tractor, maybe next year.......
