[AJD] JD 830 & 777 Plow in 2006 Classic Farm Tractors Calendar

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

I know Jim personally, struggled along with him as he restored that 830 and it's more 
than likely that's the condition the equipment is in. It is 100% pampered and cared 
for. Several years ago the roof collapsed on the 830, damaging it. Jim was obviously 
beside himself until it was perfect once again.

What a backdrop, glad to hear he made the calendar

Thanks for sharing it Dean, great to  look at
