TO ANDY MACE:
sir i owe you a deepest apology, my look was cursory only, and it looked
like every other tranny setup...removable from the bottom...and it
wasn't till i took some detergent and a great deal of elbow grease to
get the grime off that i realized i was indeed very much mistaken... by
now i have had 2 large slices of my crow pie that i mentioned
earlier...(cept up here we have ravens, no crows, had to import them
from down the hill, which only goes to show you the lengths i go to to
eat crow)...from all the flames i learned a great deal, and they served
to keep me warm...someday i will learn to open mouth prior to inserting
foot....everyone on the list has been most helpful, and i read every
post whether it is in regards to a spit or not....i just like learning,
i will go back to my corner and cower now.....with my crow pie and
humble desert....and my game boy to keep me company.....
larry
currently having leftovers of crow pie......and a second of humble
desert....

Larry,
It's not the height clearance that's the problem...it's the
frame/bell
housing clearance. But, I guess you've found that out by now. Now,
apologize to the nice man and start pulling that passengers seat.
