[AT] real tractor stuff <g>

[Ralph Goff]

I find that lately ignition points and condensers are very expensive no 
matter what brand or where I buy them. Of course I might be basing that 
opinion on when I used to buy them 30 some years ago. I don't think I could 
get away under $30 for points and condenser on most engines now.
