[AT] Thanks: Bolens QT17 1666

[Troy Bogdan]

Thanks Ed & Cecil,
So far I haven't found much Bolens info to share with this friend.  He does
not have internet access, so he doesn't have a chance to view e-bay.  I'm
actually surprised that there wasn't as much info out there as I thought
there might be, but I guess Bolens isn't quite in the same league as other
more well known tractors.  THANKS AGAIN,  Troy
