Default 1944 U Model, 74 Flathead

Thought you all might like to see some pictures I took today at an auction. 1944 U Model, one of 497 civilian models sold the last year of the war, or so we were told. Pretty rough shape, but original, except perhaps the muffler. It was bid to $19,100, but not sold at the auction, as the family said they had higher interest via the internet.

If any of you are interested, here's the auction bill

Disregard the last three pictures (Gravely lawn tractor with rototiller attachment).
