still think you should put NG in their own mag.......then you will say put 
implements in one too........
I am only interested in two cylinder and don't read about NG.......I do 
agree with you that there is a place just don't think it is this 
mag........I also agree that it is a tractor that is becoming collectable 
but.......

The picture is a great picture and I imagine Mr Cherry was proud of it as 
his son and future family should be....

could be some sort of balance in your mag but ...........
