[AT] Case D

[Ron Cook]

The DC my Dad had did not have adjustable rear axles.  It had wheel 
spacers and dished cast centers.  Chicken roost steering narrow front, 
hand clutch and turning brakes that had round pedals that went near up 
and down.  Danged unhandy tractor for a kid to operate I'll tell you.  I 
was very happy when it lost a rod bearing blowing ensilage.  It left the 
farm never to be seen again.  I have never noticed another exactly like 
it.   I do not know what year it was built.

A neighbor wants to sell me his SC projects.  I keep thinking of that 
old DC.
