Nice Arvid!

We had a Farmall B with a wire to the govenor and it would do about 35 with a set of cultivators. The road we were on was the main road between Detroit and Chicago back in the day. Often we would be hauling A-- down the road and the carl haulers would come up on us. They loved it— honked and waved as they went past TomC

My first engine run on wood gas was a Farmall A  
Still smiling.  
Now considering a B because of the extra room on the left side.
