[AT] what's out there

[Bruce Moden]

Steve,

Thanks for te reply, what size tires are on the "H"? 
What type rear implement hitch does it have? this may
be what I am looking for.  I had a TO-20 for a while
but I found that the metal between cylinder 2 & 3 was
designed too thin and many of them cracked there
(including mine) & caused water to mix with the
crankcase oil.

Thanks,
Bruce
