[AT] JD 60/ PTO Spreader

[Dick Day]

Thanks. That's encouraging to hear that a 40 could handle one.

I really hate to see the 60 get put into service since it's restored. But, 
it is so seldom that I ever have occasion to even fire it up, putting it to 
work may help keep some of those seals and gaskets from leaking :)

My New Holland dealer is just a few miles from me, so I'll probably start 
there in my search for a spreader.  I'll start researching their spreaders.

Thanks again,

Dick
