	Don, That is CJ Wondeidler. That is where we bought all of our tractors from. Charlie and his Brother had this shop (the main one), and then another shop in Oley, PA. They closed the Oley shop sometime before the main shop closed. I was at the auction of the main shop about 2 years ago. Back in the day, he had equipment lining both sides of the horseshoe driveway, that it was hard to park. Charlie's daughter took over the place when he passed, and slowly they got out of Large Ag equipment, and stayed in smaller Lawn and Garden. Charlie was a deal maker. He would find ways to make a deal, but would cry poor if you wanted something extra. Especially if you wanted a hat. It was like pulling teeth to get him to throw in a hat on the deal.

	The Oley Shop was Here: 282 Lobachsville Road Oley, PA 19547 At the auction, I bought a bunch of service manuals, and then got a 600 series toolbar planter with 70 series units. I was walking around the yard looking at things, and I came around the corner to find the outside auctioneer at the planter. They auctioneer was asking 23. I leaned over to a guy that was standing there and asked was that $2300? He said no, it was $23. I bid 25, and got the planter. There was a lot of old parts and parted out equipment in the back of the property, just like this, but I got well more than $25 of parts for my planters. The garage had lots of service tools and parts as well. I ran into Fred there, and he got a great Allis Chalmers Tool rack full of AC branded tools. I left, they still had a lot of interior stuff to sell, and the outdoor 16 foot sign. I would have liked to have bid on that, but I had lots of other things to do. I misspelled the name in the previous post: C.J. Wonsidler Brothers 1975 Trumbauersville Road Quakertown, PA 18951
