[AT] "First" diesel crawler w/ Blade

[charlie hill]

Well over here in eastern NC we are thinking about building an arc.
It's rained all day, supposed to rain tomorrow and it's was colder here 
today than it was in Washington DC.

BTW I found the book,  _Ultimate Tractor......... _ ,  at Wal-Mart.com and 
ordered a copy for $11.81 cents plus tax and shipping.  Total $14.75.
