[Farmall] Cub Low Boy 185

[Arthur Umland]

    James, based on just the advertisement, other attachments are not  
available (have not called yet).  Anywhere in MN is within my driving

    Your advice on buying is right on the mark, and I will certainly keep  
the "collector' factor in mind factoring in my personal interests!
                 thanks      Art
