[AT] On Topic: Reintroduction letter

[Joe Hazewinkel]

I have a NOS sickle bar mower for my 48 cub, it came with almost every attachment and the only thing that has ever been used is the grader blade, and underbelly blade.  Everything else sits in the barn.  I'd like to try it out someday so I could compare notes, but for now it looks like it will be awhile.

I hear they are handy little tractors, at this rate I'll never know...

Enjoy, Joe
