Hi Ralph, nice find. As Red Jed mentioned, you have found an I-4, that serial # would make it a 1947 model.Also as Red Jed mentioned, there are some differences between the industrial I-4, and the agricultural W-4 that make the I series kind of unique. Some of these are : (1) The addition of a foot operated throttle as well as a hand throttle. (2) The I series had slightly different transmission gear ratios, giving it slightly more speed than the W series. (3) The I series came with a clutch brake feature to supposedly allow for faster shifting, when the clutch pedal is fully depressed, it applies the brake. If you would like to see some beautifully restored I-4 tractors, get yourself a copy of Guy Fay, and Andy Kraushaar's book titled "Farmall Letter Series Tractors Originality Guide" It is the only book I have been able to find with good pictures of the I series tractor, at least the I-4, I have an I-6 and have yet to find any pictures of one in restored condition, still looking though. But there is a ton of info on the
I-4 in that book. Keep the board posted on what you decide to do, and out of curiosity, what is the guy asking for it? Tom (I-6 #IBK4458) A note to Red Jed- A much belated thank you for sending me the pics of your I-6 many moons ago. I posted an inquiry for some info on the I-6 shortly after aquiring it , and you were kind enough to e-mail some pictures of your tractor to me. I had just started using the computer then, and messed up somthing big time and lost your pictures and your e-mail address before I could thank you, so thank you ! better late than never! Tom
