the place that did the 77 work  did ok with their  labor it was the parts they didnt --- they baught all the parts  VIA  AGCO---  they didnt know about the   guys  in the  HPOCA---   (dad assumed they knew)

I wouldnt mind you working on it---  I right now am so busy I cant get haul it anyplace    and   I can  easily  let it set   for  a  while .
