[AJD] Unusual 430 "W"?? on ebay

[Cotton Family]

I blew up the picture, and there is a trace of black lettering beneath the
shiny W.. Not clear enough to determine if it's a W or something else..

Have a happy thanksgiving..

Dennis

Well, maybe I'm blind, but the tractor configuration is a Row-Crop Utility,
which would have been marked with a "W" on the tag. The "W" does seem to be
a bit shiny, though.  Certainly an unusual location for the lights.

I'm not all that familiar with what a 430 W serial number plate is supposed
to look like but it sure looks like the "W" has been scratched in after the
fact.

Unless I'm missing all of my brain cells, it looks like a normal serial
number plate for a 430W of that era to me.
