[AT] Clearing scrub brush

[Cecil R Bearden]

Brian:
Thanks a lot for the other picture.  I I will try to find some ripper 
attachment pictures.   I was thinking of just making a plate to bolt in 
the bottom of the bucket.
   I wish your Dad was closer to me, we could have a lot of fun 
together.  He sounds like my Dad was.   Mine died in 2010 at 89yr after 
complications from a knee surgery....    Hang on to yours as long as you 
can.
