[Farmall] Tractor in "Racing Stripes"

[soffiler at myeastern.com]

Larry:

I've been wondering the same thing.  It kind of reminded me
of a Massey-Harris Mustang, or is that a M-H Model 44, or
are they the same thing...  or maybe it was something else
entirely.  Not at all sure.  My wife leaned over and asked
me what it was during the movie, but I had some trouble
picking up identifying cues.  The sheetmetal side panels
partially covering the engine seemed like they should be a
dead giveaway.
