[AT] John Deere 60 cab

[charlie hill]

Ron,  I know what you mean about the weight gain.  I blew out a knee 4 1/2 
years ago.  The physical therapist told me to be careful of my weight while 
I was recovering.  He was right
about 50 lbs right.

Dick,
     Ummm,  well,  I have gained some since then.  My airplane crash
slowed up everything except my eating.:-)
     The blade fits.  I picked up a flat belt that I needed to drive the
saw at Pierce a few years ago and that is as far as it has gone.  I
still have not sawed one piece of wood with it.  But I will one of these
days.
