[AJD] Good Auction Day !!

[John Boehm]

Congrats on a good find! My kinda deal! Is it going on
your LA? If you hadn't been there it may have ended up
with the scrap iron man. With iron prices up, I hate
to think how much good stuff is being lost, especially
since most people have no idea what it is good for.
I'm seeing a lot of loads of scrap headed down the
freeway here.

Incidentally, I bought an IH O-12 (Oops, wrong tractor
list!)last weekend. Since the block had been repaired
and the manifold cracked, I aked the buyer if, for the
agreed on cost for the tractor, he would throw in a
nifty 2-12 Oliver plow that was at the end of his
driveway acting as a yard ornament. He did and it
looks to be a good, useable plow after I take the
bottoms in to our local blacksmith shop to have the
points built back up and the cutting edges hardfaced.
