| My good friend purchase this hd6 from a small Township in central Iowa 25 years ago they had purchased it new it had very low hours on it as they did not use it much in stored it indoors it was repainted 10 or 12 years ago and just stored in my friend shop he had told me several years ago that someday he would sell it to me and that day finally came it is about as original as they come and never has been sandblasted just a light sanding and repaint with new decals everything on it works and feels like a 900 hour machine when you operate it I feel very lucky to get a machine that has been so well preserved |

| I recently made a new friend. Thanks Rick for sharing your collection with me. I was astounded with the collection of old iron you have !!! I venture to say the pics of the 6 doesn't show the true beauty of that timepiece! !!! I was speechless when I first saw it !!! I was in awe looking at your collection. You really have some great looking machines. Thanks for letting me look at everything. Mainly truly hope you're doing better. Thanks Again for everything.........CROSSTHREAD HD 16 |
