Hi all,
First of all, I want to say I am a dyed in the wool IH man. I have ran them most of my life, with some others interspersed. However, I started out on a '37 JD A. That's been a long time ago. I remember that it didn't have electric start, and I don't remember liking the hand clutch much.
Fast forward to the present...
I have found locally a '47 A with elec. start and also a '53 60. The A is in better shape than the 60, but the 60 is a bit cheaper. Both are in good running shape.
So my question is this: what should I be looking for on each machine? I know the usual about how easy it starts, tire condition, brakes, etc. I'm just wondering if there is anything special to look out for. I'd appreciate any help I could get. I'm going to look at each of them tomorrow, so I'd like to be prepared.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
