Bob brings up a good point.  Were all O-14s low-riders with aft seat?  If 
so, the mystery tractor must be an I-14 or Fairway 14, even if Lane didn't 
give us that choice.  I still need an O-14 and a Fairway 14 for my 
collection...  But both Bob and I have a still rarer beast, the F-13.

Incidentally, I a pair of successively numbered O-12s.  One has hand clutch, 
the other foot clutch.  One has the little bitty 10" cast iron front wheels, 
the other has conventional round spoked front wheels.
