Dad's first tractor was a 47 ANH. He was starting farming and wanted to start with a new tractor as he had saved up enough money for a new one. New tractors were hard to find in the fall of 47 but the local dealer had this new ANH sitting on the lot so dad bought it. Remember, this is northwest Iowa where nobody has a use for a tractor of that configuration. It was one of the first gas A's and was burning exhaust valves so the dealer put rotators on the exhaust valves at Deere's expense and that solved the problem. He never did like that tractor. It was taller and the front mounted cultivator wouldn't dig well because the linkage pulled up. It had the extra long rear axles that stuck out too far and caught fence posts. In 1951 he traded it for a new 1951 A and that tractor is still on this farm and is still running. It's the first tractor I drove and it's the first tractor my son drove.
About ten years ago that ANH was on a local farm sale. I wanted to buy it so darned bad but I didn't figure I had the money to do it, so it slipped away. Jim
