Easily found using google. The original shows a date of October 5 to 11, 1939. It is a scanned document, originally typewritten. Whoever transcribed the information you are using, slipped and typed a 0 instead of a 9, and didn't bother to proofread their work before publishing it.   [Reply]  [No Email]

THis copy I have is "Official Tractor Test Number 333", dated October 5 to 11, 1930, University of Nebraska, Agricultural Engineering Department, Agricultural College, Lincoln, signed by Carlton L. Zink, Engineer-In-Charge. Seems odd to me too. Maybe it's type errors, but that's what it says.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Here's a link that takes you to UNL's test report archives. From here you can get pdf files of any tractor tests they have done since the beginning.
