[AJD] Experimental Tractor?

[Troy Bogdan]

Speaking of E-bay, I guess I was wrong on that prototype 840 . . . the 
auction was ended (probably because the reserve wasn't met).  It went higher 
than what I guessed, someone bid $50,100 but I guess that still wasn't good 
enough.  I was shocked that it went that high,  WOW,  Troy
