I like it. I believe that a 3 point or other modification should not only work properly, but look good and utilize space efficiently. you could say i like it to look factory but maybe a little more user friendly. The old Farmalls in basic form get to be hard enough to climb on and maneuver around to sit or get off when IH added a TA lever IPTO lever, and battery box seat to the small but adequate platform for the 40s (luxury for the time). Add a fast hitch and some user-added equipment and a young guy really has to be careful where he steps. Rain, mud or an oil leak/spill on the trans cover or poor shoes will make a young man an old cripple fast! which leads me to why i don't like the saginaw and the like. Built heavy and quite functional, but they sure look like they clutter up the tractor rear. It looks like safe, easy mounting and dismounting for the driver become hindered.

nice work, looks like climbing aboard will not be more or less difficult than similar aged tractors.

Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
