[AT] Two questions...

[Tim Nobles]

Bob,
    I paid $750 for my JD H.  But we did alot to get it going and restored
with land plow.  Probably have about $3000 ++ in it as it stands.  I've seen
restored ones go from about $2500 to 3500.  I like the tractor.
    As for the cub, all I know is that they are gutless.  Our cub (now with
your sickle mower) we use to try to plow the garden and it was a difficult
production.
