[AT] Serious Restoration

[Guy Fay]

The restoration of Harold's tractor really raised the bar for what could 
be done, and in fact, a few of the folks who knew Harold are involved in 
this project one way or the other. Harold was pretty good about helping 
out younger guys and getting them involved, not to mention challenging 
them......and then those folks drew some other folks in (which is how I 
know these guys, not to mention Harold himself!). So if it reminds you 
of Harold (and I remember reading that article myself) it should!
