Fortunatly she doesn't mind me bringing home tetanus-carriers as long as other needs are taken care of!  Mainly looking for a way to build the tractor nest egg a little faster, and work on some other projects!

Travis we're all good.  Have we talked since my dad had the accident with the post hole auger?  (I realize that sounds sort of shocking if we haven't.  He's doing fine and puts in a day's work every day.)

later
Al

>Long story short, I need (want) to re-structure my collection.  I have an 856 that needs injector pump work, I have four Super A's that are in various stages of mechanical health, and Mrs. Jones and I will hopefully be moving into our new house in June/July and I would like to throw a tractor shop up in the back but that shop probably won't be big enough for TWO pull combines.  Anyhow I have a '44 model 52R McCormick-Deering combine with a Continental power unit that I need to find a good home.  I hate to get rid of it but I have a late model 52R tanker with Cub engine that I really like better.  Combines eat up a lot of space.

>What's the best way to market this?  I haven't tried Craigslist because I am a little scared of a scrapper going after it.  I've posted it on YT a few times but no takers.  I wish I could connect with an old iron club or other collector(s) that would want it for display or exhibition, it's too nice not to go to a good, loving home.
