My Fleet Is Growing
My "new" ear!y 9N Ford Ferguson from the Henry/Harry handshake fame.
Not a Model A but I think it pairs well with my 130A.
70 plus's years old and still a workhorse.

Re: Marvel Carb users
I get parts from Steiner for my Ford 9n. Nice old tractor parts vendor. I also get a kick out of "Wrenching With Rachael" on YouTube.
