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.
