[AT] Some ads from the 7/2 Lancaster Farming

[Herbert Metz]

Mike, I certainly agree with the six or eight positive email responses
resulting from your post (below); plus I have a nice frontend loader for an
Allis G in my shed as a result of your postings.  Approx eight years ago I
followed up on one of those posts and bought a G with endloader.  It was
approx a month before and twenty miles from Beilers Auction.  I picked the
endloader up at the buyers home, and he delivered the G to Beilers and I
sold it at auction. The day was windy and the G was six tractors downwind
of a Rumely oil pull, so it was well specked at time of sale.  And I first 
met Cecil Monson.   Cecil and I spent several hours together; moving from
auctioneer to auctioneer as items of interest were sold, Cecil buying
several items.   It was a memorable day.
Herb
