[Farmall] Mystery Tractor D-50 Cast your VOTE

[Bob Currie]

Lane,
Very well done. Since it is voting day, and only 10 oclock out here on the 
west coast, therez still plenty of time for people to cast their 
ballots.  The steering wheel, breather cap on the valve cover, front wheel 
set up indicate it's an O-14 or I-14 to me. Hmmm, final answer, I'll say 
I-14, because the radiator tag says International instead of McCormick 
Deering. A good closeup shot of the drivers platform and a look at the 
serial tag would narrow it down. That hand lever sticking up just inside 
the left fender. Linked to the clutch?  And it sorta goes without 
saying,,that I would like to have that belt pulley cover on the back of the 
tractor. But I'm not too worried. As Schmudlach says, those Bantam series 
tractors are bout as common as weeds in the summertime.
