[AT] Monte Carlo Tractor Gas Guage

[Larry Goss]

Could be Murray, could be MTD.  Either company will put your name on 
the hood if you have enough of them made.

You have inadvertently refined a concept that I want to pursue with 
my most recent tractor project.  I got an Economy Jim Dandy that came 
with a 3-point Trac-Vac.  The sheet metal on the Trac-Vac is shot, 
but the rest of it is good.  The hoses are missing (no big thing) and 
the trailer rotted away years ago.  Redirecting the sheetmetal (and 
patching it) will give me a cadillac of a leaf blower for cleaning up 
around the oak and maple trees at the church lot that I'm caring 
for.  That will certainly be more efficient for me than running my 
sidedelivery rake (Northen Tool) all over the property.  Thanks, Bill.
