I'm restoring a 52 SM my Father-In-Law purchased used sometime in the mid to late 50's. The SM was his primary workhorse until he bought a Case 830 Comfort King in the 60's. My FIL came from hard working frugal German ancestors and being a young man in the "dirty 30's" only reinforced his save and use, re-use everything work ethic. I never thought to ask him about the event or events that created the need to repair and reinforce the drawbar on his SM. Wish I had.
At any rate, I'm thinking I will reuse the horseshoe on the restored tractor as a tribute to the long hours both he and this tractor put in back in the 50's. I might even keep the homemade hitch pins in it too.
