Notes:

This is the 11th of the first 13 O-4’s built in 1940. Currently the oldest known and in process of restoration. It has the correct engine OBHM-511 in it. The first O-4 was OBM-696 with engine OBHM-501 installed. In the last few years tractor OBM-708 surfaced in Oregon and it has engine OBHM-513 making this batch a minimum of 13 tractors. I’m slowly getting this tractor restored as I search for the early parts needed to do this properly.
