[AT] OT litter spreader

[Cecil Bearden]

Steve W. :
Thanks for the tip I will try that next time.   I got the semi load of 
litter spread.  It had a few problems running rough.  I could not 
determine if it was ignition or fuel.  Very possibly fuel.  Supposed to 
be rain coming in tonight, so I had to get it spread today, no time for 
running right, just running...  I hope to have another spreader truck 
running and on Propane or diesel before I spread another load of litter.
