Eric, that would be great to see pictures of your old  D and Holt 
combine. I"ve heard stories of those old pull types that required an 
operator riding as well as the tractor driver.
So you've got a Perkins 40? I also have one but it was seized and froze 
up when I got it. Block was cracked so I sold the engine for parts and 
dropped in a Buda six diesel but never got any further with the "fixing 
up". So I've got a few spare Perkins parts here that I likely won't be 
needing.
I watched a fairly good Cockshutt 30 sell for $600 today at a farm 
auction. A parts 30 went for another $100 and it was fairly complete and 
good sheet metal.
