This is tractor related in that tractors bring the grain to market...
Daughter and future son-in-law want to start a grain hauling business here in So. Illinois. He has his class A license and is working for low wages hauling grain for a local elevator.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
