[AT] Moldboard plow w/ a PTO?????

[James Yost]

Danny, 

It is for sure a terrace plow. I bought one in fair
shape last year when we were in Iowa. We went to the
Steam Threashers Reunion and seen one hanging in a
building out there and thought dang that it really
neat. 

On our way back to the motel we always stop at any
implement/junk yard just to see what they have. So we
bought the one there. Could not believe they had one.

I sent a picture earlier today but it "Is being held
until the list moderator can review it for approval".

Hopefully it will go through so you all can see what
we did.

Jim
