A judgment can be set aside because of excusable neglect on the part of the party seeking relief. Rule 60(bXl), M.R.Civ.P. However, Rule 60(b), M.R.Civ.P., provides that when the party seeking relief was personally served, the motion for relief on grounds of excusable neglect must be made within sixty days of entry of the judgment.” 574 P.2d at 1006 .”
