[AJD] Final Drive Drain Plug

[Robert M. Massengale]

Gary -

Thanks. I'm in a small town and NAPA or Wally World are about my only local 
sources for tools.  Have a hardware & lumber store too, but their markup on tools is 
pretty impressive. I've noted a couple recommendations on the List for Harbor 
Freight tools and I plan to check them out the next time I go to Austin... about 80 
miles east.
