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

[drupert at seanet.com]

Charlie,

Schwartz made wide fronts for the Farmall and John Deere row crow tractors
but I don't know whether or not they did for the Farmall B.  I am not
knowledgeable on B's but I think they are relatively rare ... I think they
were only made during the war and maybe two or three years afterward.  A
farmer in the country church we attended when I was a kid had a B (with
the vacuum lift incidently but I never saw it work) and I drove it a few
times pulling a hay wagon.  I've only seen one BN and that was in a
picture.  Maybe in your' part of the country, where I am sure there were
lots of Farmall A's, there may have been more B's than we had (or at least
I remember us having) in Illinois.
