Hark back a moment, if you will, to that conversation a couple of weeks ago about Super C's and H's, that post that got your "Speedo" in a big knot.
First of all, I'm a Farmall guy--raised on an M and if I could have only one tractor, it would be my Super C.

Too bad I-H didn't have him around to address the 560 final drive issues before the model launch, huh?
