Dad told me of the gentleman he was working for wanting a new tractor during the latter part of the war(It started in 39 up here remember)Wilson had put his name in to get a new tractor and when they were available you took whatever was offered. Dad went with his boss Wils. to pick up the new tractor this one day,a John Deere "AR" although they did stop at the local garage to get the clutch lever heated and bent upright like a "normal"tractor and when they got home they took off all the extra tin on the fenders. When Dad told me this we were at a tractor show in the late 1970's and was looking at a fully restored AO.He wondered if the extra tin was still hanging up in Wils's shed!

She had a bike that sat unused for almost all of the war because they couldn't get a tire for it.
