[AT] Some ads from the 8/5 Lancaster Farming

[D. Day]

The Amish (not all areas) use modern tractors with steel wheels.  I saw a 
2010 on steel in WI this year.

WDR McCormick Diesel on Steel with Pulley, Good Shape. Jonathan
Stoltzfus, 3206 West Newport Rd., Ronks PA 71572, Lanc. Co.,
717-768-3127. [I don't know what this is, unless it is one of the new
McCormick's being sold by Case IH]

I don't know what that is either, Mike, and you are probably right that it
is one of the new fangled things that Case/IH is selling but yesterday I
bought - or maybe it was really the other way around and a guy sold me - a
1951 IH gas W-9 (a "BIG" standard wide front end wheat land style tractor)
and that has got me to thinking that maybe the tractor in the ad could be an
antique.
I know IH built their 9 series tractor in a diesel version and gave it the
designation WD-9 and that they made some slight modifications to it to
appeal to the rice farmers and gave it the designation WDR-9 (or WR-9 for
the gas version).  From reading the ad I find it hard to tell whether the
tractor is more apt to be a few years old or fifty to sixty years old.  But,
maybe it's more interesting to not know all the facts as that leaves room
for speculation ...
