Dear All, does anyone know what year(s) that the various "V" (high-clearance) models were added to the original Letter Series Farmall range.
There was no reference to them in the original 1939 press releases.
I know the "W" (standard-track) models were introduced in 1940 and the Diesels in 1941.
Thanking you for your quick reponse to my previous questions. Michael Halsall Melbourne, Australia

Dear all, in a recent post I said that the Diesel models were added to the Letter Series range in 1941. I was only half right!
I have since found elsewhere on the Internet that the WD-6 was tested at Nebraska in September 1940 (Test 356)
The Farmall MD was tested in May 1941 (Test 368) and the WD-9 was tested there also in May 1941 (Test 370)
The TD-6 crawler tractor was tested in 1940 as was the TD-9. These tractors share the same engines as their "WD" equivalents.
I should have said "Diesel models added in 1940/41"
Regards from Michael Halsall Melbourne Australia

The AV is the only Farmall high clear in my 1943 Field Book guide (printed in 42). Both the HV and the MV are in my 1946 Field Book (printed in 1945). Therefore the AV was out at least by 1942 and the HV and MV were introduced sometime between 1942 and 1945. (I don't have 1944 or 1945 Field Book).

I just found my 1941 Field Book (printed in 1940). The AV is in this book so the AV was definitely out in 1940 and maby since the start in 1939.

Thats a good question! I always assumed it was a planned part of the line from the beginning. If I have read a beginning date I don"t remember. I hope someone out there does know I am curious too.
