MIKE, The 1939,40,41 were black. We had a new 42 H that was black also.As I remember the black faded out after a few years especially if tractor sat outside. Black still used through 49 . In 1950 ih came out with the silver seat . They called it SILVER SHADE, supposed to be cooler to sit on than black.Back to the seat assembly, the 39 and 40 thru middle of year had a metal bar sprung on transmission cover like pipe seat. A big heavy spring about 5 inch,es tall. The spring allowed the bottom of seat bar to go down into the trans. cover to allow for up and down movement. This bar had a bar pointing up and slightly back at top and the seat could be tilted back to stand up when driving. This is the first rail seat. One rail on each side allowed this tilt-back. This seat also had a squareish tool box under it.In middle of 41 this seat and top of trans. cover changed to the flat cover and curved 2" curved pipe with same kind of slider seat , and also hooked to the heavy spring to trans. flat cover by gear shift.1947 Ih came out with the four bolt easy ride seat assembly with the conical spring and a big shock behind it. This was a special seat and cost more . Old pipe seat still standared. In 1950, big shock removed and little shock put in front of conical spring. I beleive this seat made standardat begining of 53 till live high hydrolics came in 1953, then seat sat on the battery which had to be moved for oil tank in front under gas tank.Regular pipe seat withrail to throw seat back was still standart up through probablly 1952.NONE OF THE BIG COIL SPRING SEATS COULD BE TILTE BACK AND DID NOT HAVE A TOOL BOX. Mayby in 53 the extra cost tilt accessry for seat allowed to tilt back showed up. Sorry for such a long answer, but almost necessary. This is all to the best of my memory. An old man's. Buck

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
