Even though my father lived in the past, he never talked about it. Everything was a secret. So I made assumptions based on the few things I observed. Grandfather was all JD(Waterloo Boy, D,A,AR,B, etc.) There were about 6 dealers close enough to do business with, one was family. About 1950, he and Dad bought a brand new AC WD wide front.

There was one MM dealer near town, likewise a Case dealer, but I never saw any MM tractors around. Once in a while an MF, Case, and of course a few old 8N's and such. Most anything was available, so I'm thinking it was a matter of choice.
