H.V.MacKay (sp.) must have been some kinda guy.
         I researched him on the net a few years ago (when I got my 
Sunshine Harvester) and remember being very impressed. I would go as far as 
calling him the "father of the Combine Harvester" although there are 
differing views on this - he was way ahead of the Yanks with his ideas.
         The story of "Sunshine" and H.V. MacKay is one of those old 
stories where a "man with an idea" made good and built an empire.

Keep the revs up (or down)
