[AJD] JD - Model "C"

[G.Dombaugh]

Duane:
    That book would have to be worth about as much as the JD "C" sold for in 
1927-28 ? :-)
Thanks for the tip..   I will start looking for that copy among the JD book 
vendors at the
next swap meet in the area.  eBay would (again) be a good place to watch, 
but doubt that it would go cheap as most of you guys are there too.  :-0 lol
Have a great evening...

Thanks,
Garrell
