Mike - Fabulous! If I ever go for an older AC to restore, a snap coupler CA will be it. Mike

Seeing this pretty thing makes me want to run up the road and lighten my wallet. I'm pretty shur the WF Snap Coupler CA with the Sherman Aux Gear Box and the 28 Ben Franklin pricetag is still sitting where I saw it last. Will the Sherman Direct/High fit anything else. What are these Sherman transmissions worth by themselves?
I have a Gallon and a Quart of PPG 60080 just sitting on the shelf waiting to make the World a more beautiful place to live in.
I really like the looks of ACs when done right. PO#2 and Corp Orange CAs no matter how well done turn me off.

Bob, Those brackets I had made to attach a post hole digger I am restoring now. Hope to have it done very soon. Will post pictures when it's done. When I bought the post hole digger I was told it came off a CA. The lower mount brackets were missing. It lifts with the snap coupler lift latches. Mike

Ken, there aren't many of those around. I would say that CA for $2800 with one is worth it if the tractor is in decent shape.
Thanks again to all for the kind words. I will post some more pictures of the post hole digger I'm finishing up for the CA soon. It will be neat show piece.
