[Farmall] Regular ???'s

[Lane Freeman]

Bob,
I actually haven't seen the tractor myself; trying to arrange a meeting. 
My friend called me from the barn where it is stored and I asked him to 
check certain things that I could remember and we discussed it over the 
phone.  Serial number is T-7043x which would make it a 1929.  It's hard to 
find something right out of a barn these days, but 15 or more years ago that 
is how I found most of them.  Today the easiest way to find one is at a 
consignment or collection auction and then its hard to know what someone has 
done to it.  That is why this one caught my attention.  If I went by what 
values were 5 years ago I would have thought $1000 to $1500.  My narrow 
tread that was all original on full steel brought around $2000 if I 
remember.  I don't know how the round spokes affect the price on this 1929. 
If I happen to buy it it will stay as is (original) unless I find an 
original muffler and seat, no paint, maybe a light coat of diesel for 
protection.
