With the engine running and in neutral be sure to engage the clutch so you don’t get premature wear on the clutch bearing.

Oh yes, the gravity flow wagons! We shoveled corn off a flat bed wagon for some time before dad got those wonderful Little Giant gravity flow wagons. Then dad got a bigger aluminum elevator with a swing down. We were really cooking then! We had John Deeres, Massey Furgisons and Fords and International Harversters, but the neighbors had all John Deeres and some of their fields were past our house, so on the way to their fields, we literately had convoys of poppin Johnies parading by! I now wish I had recorded it, but that was the days before internet and video cameras!

My grandfather had a model A. When I was 5 or 6 he let me drive it around, I also remember being a bit intimidated with its size compared to the AC WD tractor my dad had. When I graduated to combine duty, dad had to teach me how to tie the sacks shut ( I'm left handed ) and everyone knew the bags I had done when they went to open them. lol

You can unload on the go. A few years back I was pulling that wagon with the JD 50 and we were unloading on the go. As the wagon got fuller and fuller, the 50 would really start barking! You had to keep giving it gas lol. Dad tells the story of when he was younger he was combining with a Gleaner and unloading on the go with grandpa driving the 50. The 50 ran out of gas while unloading and it made a mess!
