[AT] Interesting AC-B

[Mogrits]

Charlie I'm just outside of Spartanburg, SC in a place called Glenn
Springs. We are in what is called both "The Upstate" and the "Piedmont".
Mildly hilly land, red clay, about 850' above sea level.

I paid 1,200.00 for my tired B many years ago. I would have paid more,
even, because it was my grandfathers tractor, so sensibility did not matter
as much. An AC-B with hydraulics and a belt pulley can do a lot of things,
but none of them exceptionally well. That said, I'd still jump on one in
the 1,000 dollar range.
