[Farmall] 1925 M/D 10-20

[James Moran]

Eric-
Thanks for your interest in the M/D.  I will try to
contact Mr. Preston.  Perhaps he will have some
interest, as well.
I have been pouring penetrating solution into the plug
holes but have not, as of yet, made any meaningful
attempts to turn the engine.  Soon....
Thanks again.
