[Farmall] Here's an embarrassing story - Farmall Cub Mower

[Arthur Umland]

    Hi Jim,

    While I am not sure if I am the only Art on the list, I certainly am 
one. The Cub Sickle mower was not anything that I purchased from Paul. 
So I can not help identify who the mystery buyer was.

    Now I did buy the 1952 Super C from Paul last summer, and it has been 
a pleasure to take around to shows here in SD!
