[Farmall] can't be beat

[John Hall]

Don't start saving your money up yet Al. I'm pretty positive the serial 
number given to dad was wrong. Heck, the prefix makes it an M!!  Anyway, 
it's older than the other 3 here. This one has the "self contained" 
electrical box and cast iron rear lamp support. I've yet to give it a good 
looking over but from what dad tells me, this one ain't ever seen a tobacco 
farm---kind of unusual for around here.
