[AT] What followed me home today

[charliehill]

LOL,  I'm sure enough to cause someone to leave the sale anyway.  I wonder 
if it was cold enough to get the non-buying onlookers out of the way so you 
could see what you were bidding on.

It looks a lot like my Grandfathers old tractor.  I was too young back then 
to take notice of exactly what he had but it was an A or Super A and this 
was in the early 50's.  I don't know who got grandaddies tractors but they 
got a deal.  He was easy on them and they NEVER spent a night out from under 
the slelter.  When he was on his death bed in the hospital with all the 
machines hooked up to him he said: "Judson (his son) put this equipment 
under the shed!"
