[Farmall] Fixing an improvement

Never seen one up close with a loader, though I have heard "back in the day" a neighbor with chicken houses had one to clean out with. My experience is the same as Travis's.  They worked tobacco and cultivated other crops exclusively, and "did it all" on smaller farms.

>  I've never seen one with a loader in my neck of the woods.  I could see the loader being beneficial in feed lot situations etc. Most all these tractors pulled tobacco trucks and cultivate row crops here.  I remember using my dad's 140 to plow pepper and the steering sector was so worn it took about 3/4 turn before anything would happen at the front wheels.  Dad could plow with it in 3rd gear and not have a problem. I would plow up half the row not being used to the loose wheel.  I took a lot of ribbing from him for that one!!
