John,
	I was thinking to myself, "how the dickens did they get 100+ horsepower 
out of that Ford?".  Fords can get the traction to the ground alright. 
But it would still be a 2-16 plow tractor here.  Maybe marginally 3-14 
in the sand by the Missouri river or up in the Loess Hills.  Unusual and 
nice looking specimen at any rate.

	Nice photos and looks to be a very good show.
