[AT] Farmall tractor

[Mark Greer]

If the BN has a wide front installed then it came off a Farmall A or Super
A. This is fairly common for the B and BN even though they didn't come from
the factory this way. The Farmall A and B and BN came off the same assembly
line and share most major parts and even use the same serial number
sequence. The B and BN substitute a long axle housing on the left side and a
narrow front when compared to an A. Most everything else is the same.
