[AT] [External] Caution: antique tractor usage

[Cecil Bearden]

Spencer, I don't want to brag, but I think I have one or 2 of those in 
my bearing stash.   Back in the 90's when Bailey's had a lot of cheap 
bearings I ordered about $2000 worth of bearings to have in case 
something broke.  Now the problem is just finding them....
