[AT] On Topic: Reintroduction letter

[jahaze at aol.com]

I actually have a plow, mower, cozy cab, cultivators, and a couple of other attachments that have never been on the tractor.  The tractor was a gift from my father-in-law who bought it new and basically only used it to mow his lawn.  He's still around and would be deeply offended if I sold any part of the package.  It's easier for me to keep the parts in the barn until such a time that he has passed and I can re-home some of his stuff.

I actually used it tonight to mow the path.  It has a Pennington grass mower on it.  I always wondered if this is what IH supplied with the tractor, or if it was something that was added later?

Enjoy, Joe
