[AJD] JD Lindeman crawler-Parts

[Dean VP]

Greg:

If I were sitting on several NOS heads and blocks the "holding fee" would be
appropriate too.  I'm not complaining at all about what the current cost
might be on them as I'm sure the original investment and accumulated
stocking costs over the years has added up quite a bit. I know any owner who
has truly carried these for sale for years has a tremendous investment
involved. I just shudder to think what it might be!  :-) Makes my rear end
pucker!  :-) Let's see, will my tractor run a lot better with a NOS head or
should I just go find a Parts Tractor or two or three. :-) I know which way
I've gone in the past. 

But then there is the NOS Side Looking Radar for a B52 that is for sale too.
If we just could find a NOS B52 for sale maybe something really interesting
could be put on display.

Heads are bare.
So far as pricing goes, I have a new philosophy. Why not give away the parts
but charge 
a "holding fee"? lol
