| Don't be alarmed here!! I had a strange wild thought about the cost of fuel going up. Yes it will affect us all in the travel, heating, lighting etc. BUT someone the loves that darn PRETTY machine might not fire it up. Or keep it on a low idle. LOL |

I double dog dare Shameless to put some Nitromethane into that machine. If he can somehow get it to blow a couple feet of the stuff all the way here, it will keep some people off the roads. The high price of fuel doesn't seem to have any affect whatsoever. The economy can't be doing as bad as everyone is crying with all the new cars I see everywhere and some are paying $30,000 for a 56 year old tractor with major problems.
------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

jay, it was an auction of antique tractors... An ALLIS 190 narrow front end ... more of a "collectors item" than your D14 .
