I wish it would have.. It was rolled over sometime in its history, and the fenders, radiator shroud, hood, and steering tube all needed lots of help. ------------- Unless your are the lead horse the scenery never changes!! |

| That is really nice. I have never seen an IB close up , They must be a heck of a lot easier to on and off than a B ? |

Matt, I suggest you chain the tractor into one of those tie- stalls! Just don't try the the milking machine; they prefer hand milking. ------------- '34 WC #629, '49 G, '49 B, '49 WD, '62 D-19, '38 All Crop 60 and still hunting! |

| I should let you do mine , I'm not doing that good of a job on mine . I just don;t have that talent., I see a drott plate on the side of the frame . Did it have some kind of drott attachment on it. mine has a drott tag on it, but it had a drott blade on it. I love it , you did a beautiful job. |
