But he problem is the poor old Neat is on the endangered species list so it is getting hard to find.


:lol: :lol:

If you go to a sporting goods store & buy baseball glove oil, you will have neatsfoot oil.

Hey thanks for the information I did not relize that the neat was on the endangered species list. :cry: I'll be enviromentaly responsible and only use a few drops of petrolium based oil on my pump. :thumbsup:


Doug
I used to know Mo but he's getting old like the rest of us and probably losing his hair anyway. Thats why you can't get Mo'S hair. :lol: :lol:


Have a great day
