[AT] -Huber Maintainer

Sat May 17 17:44:09 PDT 2008

Yes there are a few. I have had mine about 20 years.  I repowered it a few 
years back with another Hercules from a JD model 55 Combine.  I originally 
had a QXB5 it now has a QXD3.  It has the 9 ft belly blade and a 6 ft dozer 
blade on the front.

Hey Bruce,
I saw two words in your email that interested
me---Huber Maintainer. I also have one (1946) and I
don't think they are in abundant supply. I would be
interested in finding out if there are others out
there in this forum.  Change subject to Huber
Maintainer. Denny C
