[AT] The 22-36 Saga continues

[Phil Auten]

Verrryy impressive, Lane! I have a neighbor who has one of these and
this is one big honkin tractor, to be sure. He has some larger tires on
the rear of his and I can barely see over the rear fenders.
Yours looks to be in excellent shape. Good luck in the pulls!
