[AT] When did you start collecting old tractors?

[Mike Sloane]

I guess you are right, Charlie. I was thinking A --> Super A --> 100 --> 
130 --> 140. but I guess you could lump the 100 series as all the same 
tractor for most purposes. :-)

That tractor came with a much abused IH 1000 loader. After I fixed 
everything up as best I could, the loader was still pretty useless for 
anything but light stuff, like manure or maybe a bale of hay. It was a 
very interesting looking tractor when it was done, but not real 
practical. And the steering was pretty heavy with the loader on it.
