Frank, the Mustang and Pony were really neat little tractors but I never saw
many of them. I recall back in the 60s , my Uncle had acquired a Pony with a
few implements to go with it. He sold it after a little while. I remember
how small it seemed compared to the conventional tractors of the day. My Dad
would liked to have bought it but could not justify spending the money on
just a "garden" tractor at the time.
So I doubt there were any parts tractors to be found around here now. I see
a couple of 44s and a 55 at this sale,,

tomorrow. No telling what else might be there in the "unlisted" category.
