[Farmall] Mystery Tractor D-50 Cast your VOTE

[Karl Olmstead]

International O-14, based on International tag on radiator, low front axle, 
rocker arm breather vent on engine, rubber covered steering wheel.  Could 
also be I-14 or possibly Fairway 14.

>From an artistic standpoint, there's one shot missing that would have 
helped; a closeup of rear brakes.  If they're present, it's an I-14 or 
Fairway.  If they're absent, it's an O-14.

The -12 or -14 family has wonderful diversity; you see hand clutches, foot 
clutches, hand brakes, foot brakes, hand throttles, foot throttles, rear 
brakes or F-12 style brakes hanging on the sides of the transmission.  High 
or low front axle.  Squared off or V-shaped radius rods under engine. 
Gasoline or distillate engines.  Farm tractor or contoured, upholstered 
seats.
