[AJD] GP value

[Bill Brueck]

Nope, got one pto between the 2 of them, and I guess it'll need a shield,
too, when I get that far.  For the record, these are 28 and 29 models, in
case anybody else is looking for something.  They aren't very accessible at
the moment but that can change with a few hours of jockeying around.

My wife isn't impressed, but I think I do a pretty good job of packing in
tps: tractors per square foot.  I know the ATIS lists have had threads of
TPA - tractors per acre - from time to time.  I do especially well with the
narrow front end models, alternating front and back.  Sure makes it a
nuisance to get to one in the back, however!  Then I stick the gas engines
into the small spots in between.

Bill, you wouldn't happen to have a extra pto guard on one of those D's
would.  I have 1935 D in need of one.
