[AT] country disc well grounded

[charlie hill]

Thanks Ken.  I went to the site and then found that it was already in my 
bookmarked sites.  I don't believe they would have the cast iron bearings 
(bushings) for a 50 year old disc harrow that was very limited production to 
begin with but it's a good site for other power transmission and bearing 
needs.
