[Farmall] "A" serial number Just wondering

Chuck,
First thing.........IH never put primer on tractors until the 1960s.
So if your 1944 tractor has primer on it then it was repainted at one time.
End of mystery.

This weekend I came across a couple of A's one a 47 an the other a 44 which
a fellow
had for sale. The 44 was painted white, now after looking at the book an
seeing it was
made in 1944 a few of Chapter #30 members that were there thought it
couldn't be
a white demo. But here is brothering me, the tractor was painted white
except for
one part, it looked like it had been sitting along side of a fence row for a
number of
years, like about twenty or more. Serial #105477 which is a 44, I know that
IH painted
what ever color you wanted but one never knows if the dealer may have
painted it
or someone just liked white.  Sort of strange that a old tractor drug from a
fence row
would be white an even under the paint I found no red only old primer.
