[AT] John Deere 60 cab

[Dick Day]

Ron, when you came down to my place a few years ago (picked up some saw 
blades as I remember), you sure were not fat then.  If you would have 
difficulty getting into that cab today, it's only because they made it too 
small, not because you are too large :)

Did the blades fit your buzz-saw ok?  Those things scared me just looking at 
them.

Dick

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.
