[Farmall] 240U question

[Jim Becker]

We had one for a while back in the '60s that started out yellow.  You could
see just a hint of what may have been a painted number somewhere on the side
of it (slightly raised by paint thickness).  It had a no longer connected
power steering unit (added more looseness to the steering).  It also had the
plain pan seat (not even padded as I recall).  It had the commercial 3 point
hitch (no traction control).  It had 24" rear wheels.  If the front axle was
any different from our other 240U, I never noticed it.
