[Farmall] Some ads from teh 9/27 Lancaster Farming

[cvill]

I do not recall seeing the washtub, Skip.  I couldn't afford to own one 
.  I remember they had a reputation for roof rattles and maybe a couple 
of water leaks.  I was still driving a '47 Ford club coupe at that time 
which followed the three successive 1951"s that I had owned. 

Tractor Ref--At home we then still used a '38 F-20 and an unstyled JD 
model L.  The old Farmall regular sat in disrepair, having been replaced 
by the F-20.
