Well, I think I may be an Allis collector now. I was talking to a friend that buys and sells vintage iron. I knew he had a few B's sitting around and he mentioned he wanted to thin his herd out. He has one that he bought for himself. It ran when he got it. Pretty decent tin, newer tires. Wouldn't crank over when he went to move it and it has sat in his barn for a few months. He said he just doesn't have the time to work on it and has two others that run. He said he would take four hundred bucks for it. Told me he would even take payments for it, just come get it out of my barn. I think I am going to stop by the back tomorrow and go look at it. I think I need another tractor.

"But honey, think of all the time I will be able to spend with you and the kids now that I have a dedicated cultivator tractor"....

She is going to be really happy about this. hahaha.

Guess I need to build a barn now too...

Looks like some good deals have been happening lately! Grab that bugger and bring it home! You already have our "beach maintainer" Bill Longs blessing. What more do ya need? lol! Go for it! Good luck with it. I think we should have a program called "Save-A-B" Heck, we had a "Build-A-B".....
