Hi Ron Dog

I note with interest that you have aquired a very original 7U, with recently overhauled under carraige, you seem to think that the 31 -- 000 Serial No was to high. However they built 44,307 7U tractors from 1947 until 1959 when production ceased. Hope that this puts your mind at rest. Your tractor was built in 1955.
