When I was about 6 years old, our local dealer had a fully stocked display in the Lawn & Garden section with an array of A-C branded garden tools. I reached for a shovel, and knocked the whole rack down. One of the parts guys helped me put everything back as it was. Brought back a good memory. ------------- Pre-WW2 A-C tractors on steel wheels...because I'm too cheap to buy tires! |

| Never seen one of those before. I don't remember Dad's dealership ever stocking any thing like that. We had a lot of Bonnie hand tools, but I don't recall any garden tools. |

As long as yours wasn't a 6 tine, you did good  Dad always used a 6 tine to dig taters and I passed on his old one when my brother thought he would like it. Next time I picked mine up, I broke an outside tine off  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

By the looks of it, I thought that it would be a 2 bit ax. ------------- Dad always said," If you have one boy, you have a man. If you have two boys, you have two boys". "ALLIS EXPRESS" |
