: : OK, Don't everybody hit me at once, I'm new to this! What does "Styled" mean when talking tractors? Pete

: Everybody's gotta start somewhere, Pete! "Styled" refers primarily to tractors with sheet metal added for purely asthetic purposes. For Farmalls and John Deeres, this started about 1939 or so, depending on the model. For example, my 1938 Farmall F14 (check the link for a picture) is "unstyled"...the radiator hangs right out in the breeze, and there's no sheet metal that wasn't absolutely required. All "Letter Series" (A, H, M, etc) Farmall's are "Styled" with grilles in front of the radiator, swoopy hoods and very pretty gas tanks. Designers like Raymond Loewy were hired by the big tractor makers to implement this "styling" which improved appearance and operator comfort.

Thanks Paul!!

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
