I thought that ad was odd also, but just included it because it was
"interesting". I had a Farmall 706 (the 805's cousin with slightly less
hp), and it certainly wasn't "rare". Maybe there is something unusual
about this particular tractor that the seller neglected to mention - or
it could be that the badge really does read "Formal", not Farmall. :-)

As far as the number of ads, I only send the ones that fit *my* criteria
- older tractors for under about $7000, parts/implements for them, or
oddballs (like the brass steam whistle). The number of ads in the
"mailbox markets" section itself seems somewhat consistent about about
450-500 each week, but there are fewer and fewer antiques than there
used to be back a few years ago (and the prices are a lot higher). With
better weather coming, I expect to see a few more - everybody know that
you can't sell tractors when there is snow on the ground. (At least that
was my experience when I was working for the NH dealer.)
