Terry =E2=80=93 Here=E2=80=99s a question. What kind of a machine are =

dealer. I do mean sometimes! Other times, it seems like legalized =
extortion. For many years, I was always of the opinion that I would buy =

for hay wagon construction and other farm construction was a no-brainer. =
An auction at an iron working shop 30 years ago (structural steel =
erection) provided me with about 1000 lbs. or more of =C2=BE, 7/8, 1, 1 =
