"Regular" has 3-speed transmission, a separate starting tank (can't start kerosene with a cold engine), and open steering gear. The automatic brakes were meant to make short turns in corn fields so as not to knock down corn (old IHC brochure I have shows how it was done--I learned to do that from the brochure). All Farmalls had this until the letter series came out. There were a few changes made to the tractor during production years (larger venturi, different seat mounts, addition of oil filter, enclosed governor levers). A "revolutionary" tractor because it really was a farm-all--it did everything that previously had been done with horses. Of course, it didn't nuzzle the farmer who fed it, like a horse might. A fun machine in a parade, but a bit of a beast in the field, especially on 36" rubber (much faster than the original 40" steel wheels). Noisy, rough-riding, uncomfortable seating position, steering that would whip out of your hands if you hit a rut and weren't holding on. Spent years on a "Regular" and an F-20. Fond memories, but today, I'd just play with them. Incidentally, I can find no references in IHC literature that calls this tractor "Regular." Farmers used to say that, to distinguish from F-20: "No, she ain't a F-20, she's just a reg'ler Farmall." From a distance, they looked a lot alike if you didn't know the details.
