[AT] Need some helpSilver King

[Kevin]

My brother owns the factory at Plymouth, Ohio where at one time Silver King 
tractors were built. Since then it has been a Locomotive Mfg plant.
The rarest of these tractors are the one that say Plymouth they were pre 
Silver King. Thic company was not affiliated with Plymouth Chrysler Corp. 
All though Chrysler Industrial made  some Custom, Rockol, and other names. 
But only for a few years later than Silver King quit mfg.

He does about anything mostly move and ship large  machinery, and 
Manufacturing, selling const equip, ect.
