Thanks Digger!
I make that to be Dec 14, 1988.
Was plant 'G' Brownsville, TN?
An 1872 and a 127 w/3 point followed me home last night.
The 1872 is a parts tractor and a possible Command transplant project.
The 127 has compression and should not take much to get it serviceable.
A PO had cut holes in the tunnel and the bottom side of the tower, to gain access to the shift linkage I suspect.
Also on the load, going to another buyer, was a yellow & white 782 that's going to need a lot of help. Although it did have the cast iron rear and 3 point.

The 782 actually turned out to be a 784
Someone must have switched the hood and/or the decal
143-784-100
