[AT] Farmall 240 notes and appeal on IH Farmall needs

[Grant Brians]

I am 6'6" tall. Need I say more? I am actually not the tall one in the
family either as one of my sons is 6'8" now. It is just a small tractor. I
can drive the biggre IH tractors no problem and there is not an option of
replacing these Farmall 100's as they are used constantly for cultivating
and hauling produce and sprinkler pipe. It is just that my employees must
drive the 100s and I cannot.

John,

I have noticed that on the Super A-1 in the few times I have driven it.
That big steering wheel is right on my knees.  When I get to really working
on it, I'm going to try sliding the seat back a couple holes to see if that
helps.
