[AJD] John Deere AR

[Chris C]

Tommy,

    I wish my wife would help me with my AR.  I think
my wife might just shoot me when she see's the AR and
the other A's that have appeared while she has been
gone on active duty.. Oh well...

   I am also working on a 1950 AR,  and I have a parts
one too,  not much left,  but it does have a
transmission that shifts..  Nice pictures.  I can't
wait to see the finished product.  I bought mine in
pieces,  and it is very close to being back together
to see if it will run and what else may be wrong with
it.  Then back apart for final repairs and paint..

    Good luck with your project!

              Chris
