All the talk lately of the N series Fords and their prominence has me reflecting on the sights of my youth. My recollection has it that a lot of little farms around and the non-farming home owners had one of these tractors (WD) sitting in the yard or a WD45 or C if not a WD. And it was just not the neighborhood but went I started college in the 1980's there seemed to be a lot of those on the way to Alfred, NY from the Finger Lakes area.

I am not an AC tractor person but at the same time do not harbor an immense dislike of them, either. Discuss.
