Sorry... been out of pocket for a few days and haven't had a chance to
do anything more than read emails. I was out getting married. :)

Tractor content:

My Girlfriend bought a 1947 JD B at a tractor show back in March as an
investment. The price was right and we intended to do some tinkering on
it and maybe paint it. (her money, my shop and labor).

Two weeks after she bought the tractor we were engaged. 

 Well, the neighbor stopped by a couple different times and sure thought
that tractor looked out of place with all my Case tractors and offered
to buy it. He wasn't quite serious enough about it so we let it slide a
bit. 
    He had a friend show up from Australia. This gentleman is putting
together a 40 foot shipping container and loading all manner of golf
carts and equipment into it. This friend decided he liked the look of
that JD. I shot an approximate price at him of what we thought it was
worth, but I had to check with the owner. 

Well, we firmed up the deal on our wedding day... my new bride was very
happy with the result. Damn... I didn't know anyone could make a buck on
tractors! I musta missed the part about SELLING them. :)
