I'll-be-darned! A cotton harvester?! Never had one before - glad to have one now. A sad story comes with the tractor though. It was set up as an antique puller - no major mods though. One day after a successful pull the gentleman that owned it was loading her on the trailer. The ramps and trailer were at an up-angle. As he was driving up the motor hesitated so he feathered the clutch and gave it more throttle and it did a wheelie and continued to flip all the way over. The gentleman was pinned under the tractor and lost his life on the way to the hospital. I didn't know him but it sent a shock wave of grief with many folks that knew him. The tractor sat for two plus years until yesterday. It had not been run since the roll-over - it started right up. My plans are to restore it to original next summer. I'm going to have the owners name pinstripped somewhere on the tractor "in memory of...". Thanks so much for the info guys - really appreciate it. Andy
