Re: (ET) weeder cult

[Brad Fayette <brad bfayette com>]

I have a Mantis cultivator that has no motor.  I think an industrious 
person couild rig up a mower motor to work on it.  I have an edger 
attachement thatgoes with it.  If anyone wants to come by Wake Forest, 
NC, they can  have it for free.
