[AT] Post Hole Digger

[Herbert Metz]

Roy; if it is an Allis Chalmer, a good place for advertising is:   
www.allischalmers.com,     then pull up    discussion page.   No cost for
advertixing, and if you check in the archives you can learn how to post
photos.
Also, take along some wire so you can tie it up so the hinge points can not
move.
