[AT] Some ads from the 4/10 Lancaster Farming

[Al Jones]

I think maybe the B's were more popular in the midwest.  After all they were 
a two row tractor, at least as far as cultivating goes.  IH made a lot of 
them, along with the A Farmall, between 1939-47.

The C replaced the B, main advantage was a bar axle for more/better tread 
adjustments.
