I know there were a lot of ground breaking concepts at the show that I walked right by not knowing the significance. That's where it would have been nice to have someone like you to point them out to me. On the second day, I made a point of slowing down and talking to people and reading more of the signs. I felt my eyes were starting to open. Also, I know there were tractors there the second day that I didn't see on my first pass.

Since the older IH tractors didn't have much meaning for me, I didn't pay as much attention to them. When I was in the area you said this tractor was, I had run into my cousin who is a Deere collector. I think we skipped fairly quickly past some stuff that wasn't green.

However, the tractor on the left of this photo appears to show one similar to what you describe. I now wish I had a better photo of it.
