Alright, I've been wearing blinders all my life I guess.
Never heard of the 9 speed "O" could someone enlighten me of this tractor?

Nice find on the nine speed O!!! Instead of a creeper Ih offered a three speed trans that bolted up to the fornt of the regular transmission or some sort.

on the 9 speed that geezer had that now lives in hiding in maine the owner does not show it or take it out he lives like a hermit he got mad at the phone company and shot the wires off the house with his shotgun he seemed a little radical we had a nice long talk here on many things there are a lot of things he did that was fun to listen to
