[AT] a "few" days ago

[John Hall]

I was digging around in some photos I haven't looked at for possibly 
decades. Here is one from 1989 you guys might like. I managed to 
"restore" this tractor for less than $650--I bought it when I was 18 for 
the sum of $25. It spent close to 30 years under a tree, abandoned 
during the Korean war. We cut some corners by today's standards, but 
didn't do anything that can't be fixed/corrected. Somehow we did this in 
less than a year with no internet, phone calls you had to pay for, Gas 
Engine Magazine and Wendells Encylopedia of American Farm Tractors as 
our only resource and no other tractor to go look at. I wish it still 
looked this nice, but as I titled this thread, it was a "few"days ago. 
Somewhere dad has a journal he kept of us working on this one, I think 
the recorded hours were 475---lots of wire brushing, no sandblasting.
