[AJD] GP that just sold on eBay

[Duane Larson]

Bill,
You need to come to the next GP rally at Paul Ostranders in September 2006. 
Check www.johndeeregp.com - send them an email asking about the rally, not 
sure why Michael hasn't updated the web page... .  I have a '31 GP standard, 
'30 GP standard, and '31 GPWT and love them all!  If you get near Moline, 
you should contact Corwin (Cork) Groth as he restores GPs for a business. 
He had the unusual GP at the last GOG that turned out to be able to pull a 5 
bottom plow.
Regards,
Duane Larson
