[AT] Old weathered used-looking tractors

[Dave Merchant]

In the pix on your site, the M looks like a good typical working tractor.

You might want to repaint it in a few years, but right now it looks just 
about right.

Most of mine, on the other hand, are pasture prime, but I'm fresh out of 
round tuits.
