I restored an H farmall and at the time I thought it was a 47. I ordered decale's and when they showed up I put them on, only learning, I was putting 47 decal's on a 43. At the time I was like, what is the difference, and now that I know, I know they were the wrong one's. Well, anyway, if I get to the chance of restoring this tractor again, which I probably will since I use it all the time, I will put the regular McCormick-Deering stickers on it. I just wish I would of checked the serial numbers out before I ordered decale's. I just wrongfully took someone else's thought instead of checking it out myself. I will never make that mistake again. But who would of thought there would of been a difference in decale's. At the time I thought all years were alike but later found out that the McCormick- Deering narrowed up to McCormick in later years. Other than that I don't really know of any differences. Except for the super series. Well I guess that is just a tough way of learning in my case, but who will know the difference. Another 20 years and most of the old timers will have died off and it will just be down to us decendant's to argue about the way it really was. I really treasure the old timers and there talk of the old equipment. I run some of this old equipment from time to time and really wonder if younger generation's will be able to put it all together and understand how it all worked. I just wish we could leave behind the knowledge and hardship of past years farming and have the younger generation's actually care about what happened in the past. It just seems to me that younger generation's look at antique tractor's and say whoop tee dooo. They would just as soon run a new one with an A C and a C D player. They just really don't understand what it was really like 100 years ago with the horses and just simply don't care. People like this are my pet peeves and to be real blunt, there is not enough powder to blow them where they need to go. Sooner or later this world will eventually get back to the basic's of digging up your own grub or just simply laying down and starving to death and those that don't understand will be the hungry ones with a rifle at first but will soon be layed to rest by more resourcefull people. Well you unionite's can all laugh out loud but sooner or later you will be put to the test when your big pay check don't come at the end of the week and your boat payment is due and your little old A farmall isn't capable of competing with an M. That is when you will come out to the real country and learn what country is all about out here. Life is just 1/3 of it and you will learn the rest after experience. Drinking out of a court jar or driving a little old antique tractor is nothing compared to living the real country life. My point is you have to really live life true blue to really understand it. If you want to pretend, than a pretender is all you are going to be. Just get out there and do some real country living and the h---- with the everyone else. And by the way, just put what ever stickers on your tractor you like.
