[AT] MB tractors

[Larry D Goss]

Somewhere in my collection of scale models, I have a front-mount forage 
harvester and a mower deck for the front mount of a Deutz-Fahr tractor, 
Mike.  I found the tractor a few minutes ago, but I can't locate the 
attachments.  I actively collected scale farm models for nearly 60 years and 
gave it up when I came to the realization that I could own tractors that 
really run for just a little more than what I was spending for "dust 
collectors."  My grandkids absolutely have a ball playing "farmer" whenever 
they visit.
