To Guy Fay- This tractor (FRA128) is just like any other A with the exception of the Hydraulic pump openning on the side of the block and two things welded on the right axle housing that are so smooth they look like they were cast into it. Mr Frank Peacock, longtime zone manager for IH told me in 1967 when I was selling for IH that it was a research A that got lost in the shuffle along with many other pieces of equipment in this area in 1937. The most notable of these pieces was a one row cottonpicker mounted on a B Farmall(again, in 1937). The picker drum was mounted in front of the driver and the basket was above his head. This tractor and picker was traded in to the IH dealer in Calhoun City, Mississippi in 1967 after being parked in the farmer;s barn for 30 years. It caused quite a stir at the time, but, I don't know where it went.
