[AT] Cockshutt 35?

[charlie hill]

Yep you are right Ralph.  The sad thing is I hesitated because I didn't want 
to take advantage of a friend only to realize later that the thing I should 
have done was buy it to make sure someone else didn't take advantage of him. 
And to tell you the truth, even though I earlier wrote $100.00 I almost 
think the guy told me $50.00 but it was 15 years ago so who knows.  I know 
it was dirt cheap.

Merry Christmas

Charlie
