[AT] I want a M Farmall......

[John Hall]

Rougemont is about 10 mailboxes north of me, literally. I think he 
wanted about $3,500 for it in one ad. It has been for sale for a LONG 
time. Really nice looking one for $4,500 in Roxboro. Only thing I am 
seeing now is cheap ones that need work or expensive ones, nothing in 
between. You remember the legend of the practically new 140 up above me? 
That fellow had a SMTA that didn't meet reserve back in the spring at a 
consignment auction--he may still have it. The 140 is for sale, if he 
still has it.
