Wouldn't it have been nice to stuff a warehouse with those $50 engines?  Man
what a retirement plan ... :)

Sparky;

After WW II, cotton farmers in southern AZ bought V-12 Allison aircraft
engines to run their irrigation pumps. I've heard that some new engines
were purchased for as little as $50-- still in their original crates.

I'm sure they're all long gone by now, though.
