We don't have large farms here like you. Still see nothing bigger than a 4440 but then again they are dying out quickly. A lot of work is hired out. With the wet year we've had I got to see more old tractors and haying equipment than I've seen in decades because of the short cutting window.
I'll tell you a story about how farming used to be here. An old neighbor I used to have got out of the service in late 1946. He had saved most of his pay while he was there. Paid cash for 400 acres as land was cheap then. In 47 he went to the John Deere dealership and bought a new M with most of the equipment they offered for it. His Dad had to co sign so both farms were on the hook. He ran that little M day and night on his farm and doing custom work for others. It was paid for in one year. The next spring another neighbor asked him about plowing his field and he gave him a price. Feller though he would talk him down cause of all the money he thought he owed. He informed him everything he had was paid for so he could take it or leave it. Those days are gone.

The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
