[AT] hello?

[Gene Dotson]

    Charlie;

    Don't know if it is luck or just the fact that some people never get rid 
of anything that may have a use someday.

    Thinking of a way to extend the outside edge of my too short backblade 
so it doesn't leave a windror on the back side of the blade. I have an old 
front blade off a small garden tractor I could use, but it is buried in the 
back corner of the barn loft behind too much stuff to move. Probably put 
that project off till later. I found a set of tire chains hung up in the 
barn for 10 years. Going to shorten them to use on my JD 240. Need it to 
pull my airplane into the hangar and it is helpless in the snow and ice, 
even with ag tread tires. Should make it better for pulling the lawn roller 
too.

                    Gene
