I also have heard stories like this before. The latest I saw were 1981 production 5100 grain drills not being sold until 1985. This was due to improper rotation of inventory. For this case more than likely the story is that a very early Farmall A built in the summer of 1939 and perhaps setup as a demonstrator for county fairs was kept by the branch to be used as a demonstrator and then forgotten about for a while. Since the 1939 Farmall A had no provision for a starter and starter equipped models started to be produced in late 1940, it is not conceivable that this tractor could have been used as a demonstrater in 1941 and after. I remember a Farmall 400 being like that until it was finally sold in 1962. In it's case it was just a lack of buyers at that time in that area.
