[AT] now AC Dealers

[Herb Metz]

One of the few larger AC dealers in KS was in Emporia area; I am quite sure 
that is where the dealership had a photo on the wall of an entire train of 
flatcars of "all crops" pulling into town.  I used to scout around that area 
whenever we returned to visit Barbara's family. Twenty years ago there still 
were many "all crops" setting/deteriorating  in the trees. Further west the 
farms were larger and all crops were not that plentiful.
In mid 40's, a welder/mechanic located in Bushton, (central) KS, designed, 
mfged, and marketed a "2' extension" that was very troublefree.  This made a 
big difference in that their capacity went from 5' to 7', but only slowed 
their demise because all other companies were offering 12' capacity.  Herb

I don't think I've ever ran across a G in the wild either. Several B's, a C
or 2 and a few of the W series---and AC tractors here are a slightly more
common than hens teeth in these parts. It used to be easier to find a AC
pull type combine.

I'm glad we have something to talk and "argue" about and that it's about a
"B". For me, this is the ultimate tractor at the ultimate size. (Well,
maybe a G is a better size but I have yet to see one of those in the wild
in these parts) I don't care to think how my Grandfather had his land
broken to begin with, but for most of my lifetime his B I now own was all
he needed to turn and cultivate what he still farmed.
P.S. I know we aren't really arguing about this here- just talking.
Nit-pickin' is allowed.
