[AT] Antique Kubotas

[John Hall]

I may own one of those orange things one day, but it won't be a very old 
one. We got suckered into working on one a few years back that was 25-30 
years old. Local dealer support sucked. Had to get parts from the 
northeast. Called every phone number I could find until I got in touch 
with an older factory service tech.---nobody new what head gasket to 
sell us. We kept getting the run around about possible "gray market" 
tractors. The parts guys were groaning just as soon as we gave them the 
model number. If its old, I'll take IH or Deere any day over orange.
