[AT] Volvo/Mercedes + mostly OT rambling

[Larry D. Goss]

Don't tempt me!  I have seen a couple articulated AWD diesel-powered
tractors from Czechoslovakia over there with articulated steering that
I'd love to have.  They're really small tractors.  They make my Power
King look big, but they have full pto capability, live hydraulics,
three-point hitch, etc.  I should have bought one when my son was
employed by the State Department.  He could have had it shipped home for
me.

Larry;

I would buy a REALLY LARGE suitcase to bring home your finds.

Try to get help lifting it.  ;)
