Really looks good! It still looks funny to me to see a 100,130, or 140 without a fast hitch....

I know I wish it had a fast hitch might try to find one but I know they are pretty expensive.

Looks good MO
The 130's are my favorite tractor. I have a std 130 and a industrial 130 and love them both.

Love.
That's a strong word there Cowboy.
I heard about this book called "Tractors - And the Men Who Love Them"
Hope all is well.

Thanks Ed
Things are moving along. Can't wait to get things tied up around the house so I can get back to the farm.
Hope all is well with you my friend.

Dumb question from a complete novice on the number series. Was the 130 the last of the "round hood" classic tractors? The 140 has a square-nose...correct?
Thanks!

I can confirm the 140 has a square hood. I am not sure if there were any more round hood tractors after the 140 came out.

The 100/130 were styled like the 300/400 and 350/450. The 140 was styled (initially) like the 460/560. Later on, they revised the grille slightly to make the 140 resemble more like a 706 or a early-ish 656. But yes, the 140 had a "square" nose, but retained the teardrop-shaped gas tank that goes all the way back to the '39 A....
