Yep me too. Anything that was broke i got a chance to tear it apart before the junk man picked it up. Probly why the o'l man could never find his tools, And i was first on the shit list when they were found all over the yard.

Hello.

I never worked around a residential yard.
There was an equipment shop that I would work at and was given the chance to work on everything my little heart wanted to get into.
Some stuff like a bulldozer, where you would remove the entire seat and crawl inside, I was able to use my small size to advantage.
I was always given the largest wrench for the job as I did not like to use a lot of effort on fasteners.
Servicing a bulldozer, greasing, fueling, adjusting belts and washing one, was a full evening affair for me.
But I had my own tractor for transportation, my first car, if you will.

We call it "Mexican Overdrive" around here but it's the same thing.

Don't laugh, I had this up to 50mph, it uses a BMW 600cc motor-cycle engine (so I didn't need a car license.....actually I had no license at all) with 4 forward gears and a reverse.

There's a museum out West that has one restored along with a 70K price tag!
