JD pawl needed- was Re: [AT] Really depressing loss of old iron...

Sat Jun 18 09:14:46 PDT 2005

NOW you have MY attention Dean.  I'm tickled to death that you JD guys have 
somewhere to buy NOS parts but the thought of being able to get some AC 
stuff is MUCH BETTER!  LOL

What is the contact information for this outfit.  I understand that I have 
to deal through a dealer.  I just want to see what they have available.

Thanks

Charlie
