| He's been selling his tractors & equipment. I've seen some of it on Aumann Auctions. I have been told some of it has been sold privately. |

When you hang a sign outside with a name on it. Like Lon's Land of AC's! Tours given. ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's. Misc other equipment that my wife calls JUNK! |

So a path through the building that you can reach out and touch each tractor is not enough? You know about signs. Always a great target for a drive by. Maybe a D21 would be an attraction. ------------- http://lonsallischalmers.com |

I have found that sign thing to be true for no tresspasing signs at the cabin. Wonder what would happen if I put up bullseye signs instead? ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it!
