Mornin’ Fred,

That's just my point. Putting something up on the Internet, be it true or not, is as easy as putting on your socks in the morning. The Internet is nothing more than one huge opinionated bulletin board. Stating that the sky is falling on the Internet is easier than boiling the morning coffee.

I’m sure not doubting your sincerity in this matter in any way, but you will have to admit, this is kind of a tall tale to swallow.

The idea of a woman on a tractor or the very thought of even selling one for this purpose, and especially in that timeframe, at the very least, really is questionable. In 1941, the whole of this country was totally asleep.

Additionally, even after the draft was instated at a later time, all head of household farmers were deferred. Remember?

Secondly, finding remnants of a little purple paint on an old tractor coming out of the state of South Dakota would seem perfectly normal to my mind.

Heck, you know as well as I do, that at 50¢ a gallon, the Natives even paint their houses lavender up in that country. Drive across any Indian Land in the Dakotas and the dominant color is purple.

The tractor may very well be authentic, but without any written documentation, I would rather think you've just got an old Reservation Redo on your hands.

Not to take anything away from your tractor, I’m just saying that I’m a little unsure about it’s linage, is all.
