This guy's been spamming everybody possible for the last year, convinced 
he's got a big find. Can't convince him of anything.

We've been stumped trying to prove that this tractor is a 'one of five' tractor, but recently received info supporting this theory. Our tractor is stamped US Army and we found pictures of an identical tractor, stamped US Airforce. The owner has not found another tractor like his until we contacted him about ours.

I was hoping you might have seen one of these tractors in your dealings.

The government ID tag has the model #, serial # and some other info but does not have the FSN number, which I was told all government property had. It does have the number 39000 1148 on the bell housing. Our tractor is sort of yellowish orange color and it does appear to be the original paint. It has US ARMY, UCO30B, GOVERNMENT OWNED, CONTRACTOR OPERATED stenciled on it. Many people have suggested it is the industrial version of the 424, but it does not have a clutch, has a reverser; 1 brake pedal, runs on gas, a cab which opens from the back, no PTO and no 3 pt hookup.

You can reach me at courtneyv2 at excite.com<mailto:courtneyv2 at excite.com> or give Jerry a call collect (early morning is best) at 920-684-9999 at the shop. You can also try his mobile at 920-323-7432 but collect calls don't go through on it.
