[AT] MPG of tractors

[charlie hill]

Your right about the that H.L.  I don't want to ride either at 50.  I've 
never even seen but one or two silver king but they are reported to be 
really fast.  In the 40's I think.  Actually the tractor speed record was 
set by Ollie Oldfield on an Allis (M I think).  I've seen the Friday tractor 
in some books but never in person and don't know anything about them.

Charlie if you really want speed consider a "Friday"  for your road trip.  I
ve seen reports of near 50 mph.  Your Silver King may may be that fast.
Neither would be very safe at that speed.
