[AJD] Styled AR Production Numbers

[Michael Ostrander]

Greg-
You obviously need a set of repro road bands for your AR.  Then you could
parade it anywhere.  I know where there are a set.... ;-)

As I've mentioned before, years and years ago I obtained a styled AR. It had
nearly
perfect sheet metal and a farmer customer traded it into us. Hands down, it
IS the best
running tractor I have ever owned. A quickie paint job 12 years ago made it
presentable
and I put it on full steel w/rear extensions which made it look very
interesting but
ruined it for parade duty. To this day I have never done so much as changed
the spark
plugs (other than oil)
What a truly great tractor, if it had only had power steering and three
point it would
have been perfect.
Most parts will not be that difficult to locate but the nosecone might be
challenging.
Years ago I had an NOS nosecone but sold it quickly

Go for it Chris, you'll love it
