[Farmall] Cubs 'n such

[James Moran]

BC-
  I have an absolutely delightful 1957 Lo-Boy, complete with the  "metallic" body insignias (it that is the correct term).  They are  most assuredly hard to hate.

Thank you for the info on the Lo-Boy. As most of you know, I'm mostly an 
unstyled, hand crank, rust rules, kinda collector, but I really took a 
liking to those little International Lo-Boys. After a few years of looking, 
I was lucky enough to find a nice original 55 model (ser#537), and use it 
here around the property. They are fun to putt putt around on, and I pull a 
little utility trailer with this one.  As for your greeting below, I'd 
respond by saying Seasons Greeting from El Dorado County, 2,500', at the 
western slope of the Sierra's, directly on the other side of those 
mountains from you,,and just about everybody else too, I'm thinkin.
