[AT] JD 70D

[Michael Miller]

Howard,
     It is amazing what is in your back yard and you don't even know it!   I 
went and bought a copy of the latest green magazine at TSC.  Flipped through 
it when I got to the truck and lo and behold I found the ad your talking 
about.  Here's the thing--His name is Clyde Wilson, and he lives a hop skip 
and a jump away from here!  The sad thing is I have heard some stories about 
his wheeling and dealing so am kind of gunshy to buy anything from him.  I 
might stop over there tomorow just to see what kind of price he has on the 
kit.


Mike
