Hi Gene
I am pretty sure I have a few to post. Just to name a few that were 
popular here. In recent years the IH 914 was very well liked and seen 
everywhere, as was the following axial flow model , 1482. JD sold a lot 
of 6601s and the bigger 7701. The old 96 and 65 were also very common 
but nothing smaller than those sizes. Massey 751s were common, more so 
than the earlier 405 pull type. Co-op or CCIL sold a few of their big 
960 pull types. In the days when all crops were swathed you couldn't 
beat a big pull type for economy and efficiency behind your big tractor. 
  I'll try to post a few pics later tonight. For this afternoon I am 
busy, the crows are back, spring is here I think and I have a few things 
to do outside.
