[AT] Interesting AC-B

[charlie hill]

I was thinking you were in that area.  Yeah I know where the upstate is
and have been in that area a few times but not often.  It seems you
can't get there from here.  You have to go somewhere else first!

I understand what you are saying about it being your grand pa's.
You can't put a price on that until you run out of money to bid with.
I've never owned one but wouldn't mind having a C or CA preferably
the CA.  I've got to B's but they are basically junk.  I think I can make 
one
out of the pair when I find my supply of round-tuits.

Charlie the 39 did not even have a nub on the block for a gen  bracket.
lights were an option that year though.

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.
