[AT] Antique tractors anyone?

[Mark Johnson]

Every time I mow my yard, I look longingly at my 1940 JD H, which I have 
been trying to get started on restoring for 7 years now.

Little Johnny is getting lonesome out in the shed with nobody to talk to 
but the lawn mower and weed wacker! I could use some 'armstrong' help to 
get it unstuck!
