[AT] Sad news update

[jvhollon]

The Missouri fire marshall says it is a problem.  However, the insurance 
investigator who is here currently, says the 425 is not the problem tractor. 
He says a newer SX or ST model [maybe] is causing problems and there is a 
recall on that model.  I believe I'd store the lawn mower someplace else; 
I'm sure going to after we rebuild.  Jack
