	This is the kind of thing that always happens when I go to an
auction and don't have any plans to buy something large. Because Lucille
needed a couple days off and wanted to go along, I didn't bring the trailer
and had no plans to buy anthing. And there sat not only the TD-9 and an
Allis D-12, but 4 or 5 Cubs in various stages of disrepair which very likely
went cheap too. Oh well.

	That AC B with the arched front axle was to the right if you were
standing in front of the TD-9. The AC D-12 was to the left near the beginning
of the row and looked like new. My D-12 is either a Series I or II and this
one was a Series II. Like mine, it had dual hydraulic controls alongside the
seat. A very nice and handy little tractor. The Cubs were all up with the
unrestored tractors and were spread out in both rows.
