[AT] Moving West...

Roger,
Refresh my memory. Exactly why did you buy "Lovely Linda" that green thing?
It's been too long for my memory to have retained why you didn't get her
a WC. :o)

Phil

P.S. I can say the same thing about my B as you said about your C.

>Marvin "Three-Arm" Johansen was a friend of my father's and designed the WC
along with Purvis "Gimpy" Fredrickson...you know, the one with the extra
yard or so of left leg, so I resent this post.  You know, they say you could
always tell a guy who farmed with an Allis WC because when he sang in church
on Sunday he held the hymnal over about two foot to the left.  And I have
noted the minor omission on the C of any allowance whatsoever for the
operator to get on the blasted thing.  I've installed a derrick arrangement
like an engine hoist in my tractor shed that lifts and drops me pretty much
on the seat most of the time.

Can't argue with the Greenies, since I did get Lovely Linda that JD B a
couple years back.  The fuel economy on that thing is truly remarkable and
very welcome in these hard times.  It turns out that what won't run doesn't
use up a lot of fuel either.

Nope, there's something good to be said about every color of tractor.
That's my philosophy.  In fact, my favorite book puff is one a buddy of mine
gave me for OLD TRACTORS AND THE MEN WHO LOVE THEM:  "We all knew that
sooner or later Roger would write a book about religion."

I remain,
Yours in Persian Orange
