[AJD] Top Speed for 1936 JD D

[Tom in N Texas]

Hi, All,

My best memory is 3-1/2 miles per hour. But, my memory ain't much to brag 
about. Reminds me of disk in' on my Uncle Francis Theodric's farm in 
Springfield, MO, with a '37 D. (He'd roll in his grave if he heard me 
calling him Theodric. His son, my cousin Harold, used to get chased around 
the barn for that.
