[AT] AC 5040 Tractor Parts

[Mike Sloane]

I think the 5040 is the Rumanian built tractor with the Uzina 3 cyl 
diesel. It was also sold as a Long, but I don't know the model. We took 
one in on trade and found out that parts are very difficult to find.

himself, than straightforward and simple integrity in another. -Charles
