Green guy lost in the Big Red Woods needs help

Posted by Soldier Tom on September 04, 2006 at 16:05:18 from (74.236.224.5):

I am not at all familiar with Red tractors, so I need some help. I found a really nice original M from just below Louisville KY, around Fort Knox where I am stationed. My nephew buys it and he gets it home and we get to fiddlin around and notice a lot of "improvements" welded here and there. I get to lookin at the serial number and it has FBK 154654 then stamped into the plate after that is "XI". Now on green machines that usually means an experimental model. Does the same hold true for the Red machines?
On the pulley side of the transmission the numbers 1 26 48 is cast into it, as is 137 and 8002DD, and the letters C W C.
Theys a fella offering to swap a ford 3000 for it, and we wanted to see if this was a gee-whiz tractor that we would want to invest a little more into. Since it is was found this close to Louisville, and all, we figgered we"d at least ask the professionals. (That"s you boys).
I appreciate you all helping my lost green self out here.
~Walk in peace~
