The cement wheel weights and radio mount are distinctive. You don't see many with an oval muffler or a flapper cap either. A neighbor used to have 2 cyl tractors, from 1/4 to 1/2 mile away the oval mufflers were a lot quieter than the round mufflers. [Reply]  [No Email]

He was the original owner of this tractor and was his first NEW tractor in 1955 one year after he started farming. Its a 1954. I bought it in 2004 and am the second owner. That ol radio has been on there forever and still works! [Reply]  [No Email]

Remember, those were Lights for driving on the ROAD..!! At night, it was real easy to get LOST at the end of a field.. 12 V made it a lot better... Ron.. [Reply]  [No Email]

Even on tractors that they worked he still wouldn't use them. i always had to use lights and keep them working. [Reply]  [No Email]

While the other brings in hayledge bale everyday. Still 730 2cyl to grind feed, the 1941 B, the 530,620 & 630 are in Winter dry dock the Little M plows the snow when needed.. 4WD Diesel gets used when needed... I"m sure they will die some day, but they are bought & paid for & would cost thousands to replace them.. [Reply]  [No Email]
