Anything that runs is worth something. Especially if it's free!

Look for a serial number tag. If it has one, it will tell you the basic model. We can go from there. Or maybe a picture if you can get one and e-mail it to someone to post.

My apologies! I did not mean to offend you!
If it is a narrow front tractor with an offset operator's platform it is most likely a Farmall B or BN

Am I missing something here? Did my computer fail to show the remark that offended? If anyone has a copy, please post it, or maybe I just need to buy a new computer, because I sure didn't see it. Shame on you Bigdog.

I guess I will open my mouth. BigDog's comment was not meant to slight anyone. We have many people that have trouble posting pictures on the forum and BD, Donny M, and many more frequently post them for peple. His statement was an offer to help.

Oh oh!
un peu "soupe au lait" Gilles!
La barrière du language est quelquefois source de malentendus.
SI je peux apporter ma petite opinion;
il n'y a sur ce site que des personnes qui se font un devoir d'être serviables, aimable, pertinents, etc
donc, entre francophone, essayons ,à chaque fois que nous croyons déceler une pointe d'ironie dans les propos tenus, de donner le benéfice du doute à son auteur . et dans 99% des cas, nous éviterons des querelles absurdes.
to non french speakers : nothing offending, just laudating.

Jeff:
In a nutshell this is what Yaume said:
"A little Milk Soup" Gilles;
The language barrier is sometimes a source of minunderstanding, at least in my humble opinion. This site is home to many people who try hard to provide serviceable (useful) information in a pertinent and happy atmosphere..
So just between fellow francophones, each time we think/feel/sense an ironic/unclear point, that we should give the benefit of the doubt to the author and in 99% of the time we would avoid misunderstandings.
This is paraphased and I translated (verified by my daughter) in a contextual manner so that the meaning not the exact word is translated. Intent, context and demeanour is everything when translating between languages. Nuances missed can spell disaster..
I do so hope I got it right Yaume..
je sai pour improvee mon francais... c'est un travail tres formidable

My poor english could even not let me try to imagine to be able to translate so well...
thank you Rudi

As friends we should understand that language can sometimes be a barrier. But language should never stop us from being friends.
When I was a kid, a young fella came over from France. Although he couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French we became friends. We are still friends today although, I still can't speak French except for the bad words

TO GET BACK TO THE TRACTOR : I WENT TO LOOK AT IT TODAY
I FOUND THE S/N FBH 36160 IT'S AN "H"
BY THE WAY IT'S NOT FREE BUT CHEAP GOOD TIRES AND COMPLETE...
THE BIG QUESTION IS IT A COLLECTABLE TOY OR NOT.
