Vintage shots from days gone by!

I know a ton of people, including myself that refers to them as a "tricycle front-end"

 

It says you call we haul you all

 

Oh, boy, Mommy! I gotta GO! There's a clean restroom here!

"OOPS, Mom! Didn't mean to rip your arm off!"

I wonder what an "Un-Registered" Rest Room looks like??

 

I am pretty sure the "Un-registered" Rest Room was the one in the Texaco in Desert Center, CA. It was worse than filthy.

Ditto. A "row cropper" is pretty much any tractor that can carry out most or all of the functions required in agriculture, from seeding to harvest that's planted in rows. I spent a lot of my childhood on Farmall A's, Cubs and John Deere's. Tricycles were rare around here, as tobacco is a wide row crop and trikes are unwieldy on unimproved roads hauling slides and such (obviously not as stable). Some trikes had only one wheel on the front, rather than a narrow pair. Wheel arrangement probably depends as much on versatility (how may vehicles can the small farm support) as row width.
