[AT] The Happy Farmer Tractor

[Doug Tallman]

I know there was a Happy farmer in southern Ohio but its been years 
since I've seen it. Last I saw it was gray though and I'm not sure this 
guy would take it to the state fair. Herb, I'll email you off list. Doug 
T  PS The frame wasn't made of wood on these tractors. Seems like one of 
the frame tubes serves as the exhaust/muffler. I've heard teh comment 
the farmer didn't know when he was happier. When he got it or when he 
got rid of it!
