That IS the tractor you owned and that is my grandfather driving it. Bought it new from the Fairview Farmers Elevator on April 15 1960. It was serial number 7325119. Gas rowcrop no three point or fenders he had a 227 with a 50 sheller on it. He traded it for a new 806 diesel at Wright Equipment Co. here in farmington maybe about 64. Any chance you know where that 730 might have ended up? I have wondered many times if it could be found. A couple years ago I was able to buy the late "b" I remeber as a kid and I it would really make my dads day if I could find that 730. I accidently ran across the 45 my grandad bought new in 1962 and I took my dad to see it he talked about it for hours. It was in pretty bad shape but brought back alot of memories and I heard alot of stories about them farming with that combine I had never heard. If you have any idea what happened to it I would sure appreciate the information. Glad you like the video. Did you recognize many of those guys? There were a few I knew and with the help of my dad and some guys who were there that day we came up names for most of them. Its a great video with a lot of history. bill
