 | | Kelly Caldwell, of Cabot, Arkansas, sent in this photo of his 1952 JD MC. |
|
|
 | | This is my '51 M that I just finished refurbishing. To make it more practical around our 31 acre farm, I converted it to 3 pt. hitch. |
|
|
 | | This is a view of my incarnation of a 3 pt. hitch. I got the bolt-on frame from a tractor junkyard (off a 40 or 420?, O.E. or aftermarket?), and fabbed the top link bracket myself. I used it last fall to bushhog 10 acres. |

|
 | | Here's a 1951 MI (industrial) photographed at Expo X in Waterloo, IA. |
|
|
 | | This MT with mounted plow was also photographed at Expo X. |
