Yes and looks good. Where did you get the tractor? I'm looking for a line on 10~12 of this type of tractor to make a few flat car loads.

Real eye-catchers - nice! This photo is a trainload of IH tractors ready to head west on CPR from the old IH factory in Fort William, Ontario. I think it'll take a little collecting to put together...  The abandoned factory building still stands. Dave   |

Farmal's are the only tractors and combines I owned on the Farm with only some New Idea items. Dad was the John Deere man. I remember the day we picked up my new and 2nd Farmal at the NYC Freight office. It along with others were delivered in Boxcars because it was Winter still. Believe me, driving a new tractor home 22 miles in cold 30 degree weather is an adventure. I could have had the dealer deliver, but that was a 150.00 flat fee. Tractor cost new 8200.00. Dads last John Deere cost 225,000.00. Go figure. Yes, as in 1st picture, dealers did deliver some tractors on a stake truck and then unloaded in a ditch, then the tractor was used to pull truck from ditch many times.
