[AT] JD "Waterloo Boy"

[Phil M. Vorwerk]

I passed on as much as I could gather to Mark, along with some
information that I found on google.  He's pursuing it, but isn't having
much luck connecting with the seller again.  I told him it sounds like a
particularly interesting tractor, and I would be excited to see him get
it.  Mark is a good example of how tractor collecting just happens.  He
bought 80 acres in Northern Minnesota, mostly woods, and needed "a"
tractor to maintain the property.  Last count I think he had about 7
tractors, all acquired in the last 6 years, and I think he enjoys the
tractors as much as having the property.  Mostly AC, one or two MF, I'm
not sure if he has any JD yet.  He will.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.  I do definitely plan to pass on
pictures and information if this turns out to be more than a wild goose
chase.
