[AT] Rockol tractor?

[Ralph Goff]

George if I had the time I would search through some of my old tractor and
equipment magazines from the late 40s as the name Custom and Regal do seem
familiar to me. I'd suspect this Rockol might have been built in Canada
seeing as how it is located on a farm up this way. I see theres a picture of
one in the ATIS gallery too.
But the sun is shining and after the rain it looks like I need to do some
serious grass cutting.
