[AJD] The controversy

[Bill Salisbury]

HI Troy,

I don't have any experience with the new tractors.  Mine is a 1956, one of 
the last of the 2 cylinder types and it is still running very well and it is 
probably the only one I will ever own.  I know it will be running long after 
I am gone!  Besides that, it sounds right!

Bill
