Hugh, There were a lot of H's as there usually are at any show, but the TA's seemed to be comming out of the woodwork. Most guys agreed that perhaps the abundance of TA's may be because this is the 50th aniversary. I'll be curious to know how many show up at other shows. As for the 39 A ser # 703, the thing that immediately got my attention was its low number because my grandfather bought one of the very first A's, and it was on the first carload shipped to Michigan. I don't know the serial #, so I was scanning this tractor with a fine toothed comb searching for any tell tale sign that it could have possibly been "his" tractor. I'm certain it wasnt because his had PTO and pulley and this one doesn't, and it had an original seat and Grandpa's had been converted to Monroe EZ ride, which isnt to say that someone put it back to original status, but its unlikely. You're right, it was hand crank only with no starter hole just as Grandpa's was. Of course, that first carload that came to Michigan ended up in Saginaw, so who is to say it wasnt on the same shippment. Makes interesting speculation and wonderment, to say the least.
