[AT] Farmall tractor

[George Willer]

Charlie,

As far as I'm aware, the weight was equalized on the A by using different
wheel centers... a cast one about 1" thick on the right and a pressed steel
one on the left.  On a B, it's the left side that should gain weight... to
counterbalance the operator.

I've studied the pictures more closely and I'm less sure the weights are
different... it may be camera angle.

On another subject... you really need to get more stuff with the new-fangled
tires.  The most recent census shows 156 tires on the ground at my place,
and the most pesky are those silly little ones on the finish mower casters.
Four on the N H and two on the Dixon.  I have the tubes, but there isn't
enough room for the stems.
