Well, it ended up being an eventful day for us! My son and I
went to an auction this morning. There were many treasures to
be found (Including Farmall Cub number 666) it went for
$2900. Long story short, we purchased a Farmall 230. Of course we
were 30 miles from home and my 11 year old doesn't drive the
truck! We came home and my wife joined us for the trip home.
Of course, it poured rain all the way home. 2 1/2 hours at 15
mph! It is a 1957 model serial # 1952----it came with a very nice
platform carrier and as you can see, an extra set of brand new
rims/tires too. it has been refurbished, I wouldn't say restored
though. There are a couple of things to tinker with though. We
will put the extra rims and tires on our C that we are restoring
now so that was kind of a bonus. The front frame weights are a
bit unusual....at least I haven't seen many of them around. The
fenders that are on it are for an H or M, so I will need to do
some swapping I guess. Our family now has a 49 C, a 51 super C and the 57 230. I
suppose someday we will get the 200 and be done with the
series. I know my wife won't think we need to do that anytime
soon! If anyone needs the bands and bolts to make a dual set like you
see, I will be selling them later on after we take them apart. Mark

Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
