[AT] Need some help

[George Willer]

At my friend Paul Brecheisen's estate sale there were 13 Silver Kings sold,
some of which were shown in DuPont and NAPA calendars as well as Randy
Leffingwell's coffee table books.  Most of his 53 tractors were unusual
except for the IH W-4, W-6, W-9, and the Oliver 60-S that now lives in my
barn.
