I for one have been looking for this info as you know for a long time. I 
think NG articles are just like the rubber tires and two cylinders hard for 
some collector to swallow. As you know I started out thinking that the GP 
tractor was the only tractor people should collect an infact we discussed 
several times the possibility of a GP book I wanted to compile 
but.................It is/was hard to admit you were right AGAIN!!!! Just 
kidding. The fact is as I've become a little more familiar with JD,s my 
interest have widened not actually changed. Now instead of gathering 
information on just one model I want to be knowledgeable on as many as I can 
just in case I run across a 1010 0rchard or a 1010 U Diesel, or a 3010 RCU 
LP or a 4010 LP Std,or a  2010 LP RCU. Afterall I have all 7 years of the 
GP's plus two WT and a crossover. I do need a GPO and an Over The Top. I 
actually have grown really fond of the NG tractors and would like to see 
more articles about them.

I did wonder about some things  I found/didn't find in this article such as 
low profile tractors after the 3020/4020 era. I know these were made and the 
records may only reflect the tire sizes and platform differences. In your 
future research can you try to find out more about the odd balls?
