Mulching hay at $2.50 a bale? Decent hay around here goes for $2.00 a bale or less, and "mulching" hay is free for the taking.

On the subject of JD L's and LA's- We have a few around western Washington, and nobody pays much attention to them. Kind of like mosquitos. I was in the northeastern corner of Montana some time back, and the local "threshermens" club had a lot of tractors in buildings, and many more in the "boneyard". There was a Moline GB diesel in the boneyard, looked pretty good except for a few missing parts. Inquired about the price, and they said they don't sell much, but they do like to trade. The guy's ears pricked up when he heard that I was from western Washington- he started talking about JD L's, and the fact that that is the only popper JD that they don't have in their collection. I got the distinct impression that if I could come up with an L JD, it would be pretty good trading material for a lot of interesting stuff they had. He mentioned that they had a lot of Moline stuff, and a guy could probably make a complete one out of the parts they had, if a deal could be struck. Or maybe look at putting together a Rumely, or something else. I recall thinking that if we're talking "by the pound", I could sure be the winner here. Didn't follow up on it, though- too many projects, too little time.
