[Farmall] Value of a 10-20?

[Mike Sloane]

Thanks to Bob, Charlie, and Mike for replying so far. I have forwarded 
your notes to my friend. He does have a Farmall Cub Lo-boy, but he isn't 
  really a FATG. He has been trying to decide whether to keep and 
restore the tractor or sell it.

The reason I don't have a better description is because he doesn't know 
what should be there and what shouldn't. He also doesn't know where to 
find the serial number.

One of his problems is that the shed that was sheltering the tractor was 
accidentally knocked down recently by a contractor hired to remove the 
adjacent fuel tanks. The tractor doesn't appear to have been damaged, 
but it makes taking pictures and checking serial numbers a risky 
proposition. :-)
