BTW...
  In addition to the stuff I found that has been discussed, I also came  across a McCormick bottom plow setup and what appears to be a McCormick  four row planter.  I say this because it is of IH red color.   Both of these things have been "barned" since the time Moses parted the  Red Sea.
  Any comments on those things?

Well I grew up with tractors all around me, Ny dad was a college prof. so 
my tractor education was limited until I finally bought my own.

I actually farmed with all these, and w6 and w9. Only the w9 could do 4  plows

My
experience (Limited) is that the Cub and A cost more then a C, H, or  M  I
think this is because the C, H, and M are considered 2 big for  the 1 acre
yard  people and the C and H are a little to small and old  for todays farms
(Although you still see a lot of them in use doing the  light jobs)

In short, you can get a lot of tractor for the money with a  H

My good friend (retired IH dealer, now deceased),,,, when asked
  "What was the best tractor ever?",,   replied, "Well, the H  was the most
abused and overconfident"
