[AT] Re: Massy-Harris 44 - tractor prices

[charlie hill]

John,  What are you smoking?  The original thread was about the price of a
Massy Harris 44.  I was responding to the a couple of sentences in one of
the replies.
.....
Did you read he has 400 cars from his father's estate to sell?
Perhaps he'll be desparate to get rid of some stuff and cut you a good
price.
..........
Parting out tractors was a completely different message.
Wake up.
