Got a new toy

There was an estate sale about 3 miles from me that was the estate of a couple that were a second set of parents to me in my younger days. One of the things in the sale was an IH HM221 cultivator like the one we had when I was still on the farm. There was only one other interested bidder and he stopped at $45, so it came home with me. It had been stored in an open shed with a dirt floor, for probably 40+ years, so it is going to take a lot of work, but I plan to have it finished and on Dad's H in time for the 2015 Red Power Roundup in Sedalia, Mo. My biggest worry is going to be whether the hydraulic cylinders can be salvaged. I am missing one of the power lift pivot arms as well a few other minor parts, but hopefully I can find them. Here it is standing in my temporary storage area till I can get it moved inside.
