[AJD] GP that just sold on eBay

[John Boehm]

Interesting! That tractor is the same one that my son
sold him a year ago. Not  likely shipped as a bean
tractor, but the bean axle was sold as a replacement
front axle, so that one is most likely a replacement
axle later put on this tractor. The lugs are indeed in
excellent condition and are Schmeiser cast iron lugs
that were manufactured in Davis, CA and are often
found on tractors out here.  My son found the tractor
in Davis (about 20 miles from here). For what he paid
for the tractor and the shipping to Ohio and eBay fees
he probably lost a little money on it.
