[AJD] Looking downstream - Heat

Bus Driver -

Thanks for sharing your technique... sounds like it will work well with Frank's two 
hammer suggestion.  I took your earlier suggestion and got some MAPP gas to try 
on the nuts & bolts holding the #5 mower to the B.  Will let you know the results 
when the weather warms up enough to give it a try.
