[AT] Volvo tractors

[John Boehm]

Finding parts for the later Volvo cars are no problem
, but finding parts for the cars (or tractors) built
in the late 50's and early 60's that used the B18
engine is a bit difficult, but not impossible, in
California. While looking for the needed parts, I did
have an offer from someone in Sweden to find them for
me. Isn't the internet great?
