[AT] Post Hole Digger

[charliehill]

Roy, if it does turn out to be an Allis Chalmers model (it sure looks 
similar to the picture in one of my books) let me know.  I might be able to 
point you to some guys that would give you a little return on your money or 
perhaps trade you for a more modern model.
