I don't recall him talking about paying off any of the two cylinders but when Dad bought his first 4020, he had a terrible time making payments on it, He bought it in 66' and 67' was a flood year with no income to follow. I do remember Dad talking about when Grandpa bought his first John Deere in the early 1930s though, He traded a matched set of Belgian draft horses for them.HJ

My grandad swaped his horses in the thirties for a M/D W30. By the end of wwII he needed a new tractor but all the tractor makers were making war machinery. He wanted a farmall but even after the war the backlog of demand meant it was hard to get one. By '48 he was in dire need and the local JD dealer had tractors while the IH dealer did not. The JD dealer challenged him to try an A allfuel which he did and bought. In '49 he traded it for a gas A which had more power and powertrol that the '48 did not have. He stuck with the '49 A until the mid '60's when he retired.
