[Farmall] subsoiler

[Arthur Umland]

Thanks for the comments John. While I do not go to a lot of auctions, I 
know in past years I had seen subsoilers like this one sell for much 
less then $100.00, but not sure if they were IHC or not. Unfortunately, 
prices have been rising quickly on some antique tractor items and it is 
hard to determine the value. I would hate to pay $350 for an item only 
to find out later that it would be lucky to fetch $100.00, even if they 
are hard to find.
