[AT] John Deere 60 cab

[Ron Cook]

Jim,
     Well, that clears that up.  Quite a ways from Hawarden, but where I 
used to spray sweetcorn for at least 15 years for the canning factory at 
Ackley.
     I am so fat, I probably couldn't even get in that 60, but there 
sure is a "cool" factor with that cab.
