[Farmall] lets talk Farmalls

[Ed]

Hi Jerry,
 
You have quite a chore ahead of you. I'll be happy to help you where I can.
My car is a Canadian Ford I imported some years ago from a museum. I forgot the town but it is north of Minnesota. Anyway, I'll write you offline.

Doesn't look like much. It's all one color and it aint red if you get my
