[Farmall] Re: 240

[Arthur Umland]

Hi Mike,

    Have being doing some reading on IH equipment and have become 
convinced that I may be interested in purchasing a Farmall or IH 240. 
Only problem is, I have not seen any available for sale in southeast SD 
any time recently. Any suggestions on where to look for one?
