Brockpend Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Found this picture of my great grandmother in October of 1955, thought I’d share. looks like it was taken outside of a dealership? And she’s sitting on a regular? Should’ve been taken around Steubenville, ohio 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I dont know my early farmalls well enough but I don't see a starting tank and the steering wheel looks wrong for a regular. Might be an F20? In any case neat pic. Ty for sharing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWRB Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Cool picture for sure! Interesting that it definitely looks like it's at a dealership, albeit in the mid fifties. Look at the banner, and look at the tire wear. So that was a 20 year old machine in front of the dealership. Picture is from somewhere around 1955/56 is my (amateur) guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art From Coleman Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Aren't those tires an early example of those "long bar-short bar" tires everybody loves to hate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the bars look short to me, as in tread wear. Maybe it was a custom puller!!!! But yes, they do look like long bar short bar. Good observation. I thought that was a newer thing myself.

Dan Robinson Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 That is a Regular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Cool picture with even better family history. Nose cone on the banner in the back is a good tell tale of date also like was mentioned. Looks to be an advertisement for the 3/400 or similar. I have a few old pics like that with dates stamped on them. I was told recently that the dates are when the film was developed which would make sense but possibly be after the picture was taken a little while. That takes nothing away from your picture at all though! Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a BF Goodrich that I had on my A when I got it with that tread pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12_Guy Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I'm with Dan on this being a Regular. The rear axle has no cast in footrests on top like the F-20 would have. The steering wheel was probably replaced. The tractor may have been repainted and freshened up for sale by the dealer. The gas tank cap appears to be the early threaded cap instead of the later twist on cap we are all familiar with seeing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillman Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 look like 45 degree tires to me but the angle is wierd. Like KWRD said I think they were newer than 1955 I found this chart . from what I have been told A and P were worse than long bar short bar design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomH Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Back at the place I lived late eighties or so I had a neighbor with an H with those tires . I don’t remember what the brand was . I just remember the long bar short bars and that they were old enough to be labeled 10-38 size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake19917561 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 My H has one of those A tires in the diagram on it in horrible condition, other side has the original 1944 tire looks like the M tire in the diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
