[Farmall] [SPAM] Re: 1950 Cub questions

[Mike Schmudlach]

It is important to remember that NOT all tractors in that range were Demos.
Also that serial number range is a guess, it is based on tractors built from
November 1949 until March 1950.
IH never published a list of the Mid-Century  Demos.
Here is a photo of a Mid Century Demo painted Red.
