Default 2028

You never know what might just be around the corner or a click away or just over the next hill. 2028 happened to be over a small hill just a click away. Granted it is a low-grade (only $75) but it is a survivor. Matches the book and the research letter. Just slightly off face. Pre-radius and no cracked frame. Pitted barrels for sure but they seem substantial. Straight butt stock is original and cracked at head. Barrels are de-carbonized steel so the book says this is 1 of 613 built. One hammer screw is a replacement. Here is a pic verifying the wood. Will get around to more pics "in the fullness of time" Cheers, Jack



AS PROMISED - MORE PICS

Gary: Front action it seems
Charlie: Had to go to MT for tractor parts. One day the Farmall will roll again.
Cheers, Jack
