[Farmall] Somewhat self-serving question: best way to sell a pullcombine....

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

When I bought it back in 1994, part of the deal was that the seller would 
deliver it the 15 miles to our place, that’s how bad I hate moving oversized 
equipment! I can't imagine the work it would take to get it ready to go from 
here to Iowa. Pretty certain we gave him a running AC pull type 10 years 
later if he would just come and get it.
