[AT] Finally done

[charlie hill]

Len,  I don't believe you have ever run one of these tractors that was new 
or in new condition.  I've seen the lift arm couplers come loose on some of 
my worn out stuff but I never had that problem years ago with new stuff.  By 
the way.  The lower connection is the Snap Coupler not the small top ones. 
I realize that they snap shut but so does the bottom one.
