[AT] IH b-414 update

[Mike Sloane]

You done good! The steering must be set up differently from my 706 - on 
that tractor you would have some steering, even with the engine not 
running, as long as there was fluid in the system. The steering unit 
acted like a pump if you turned it enough.

The loader is an IH 2000, which is a very good one, but heavy.

But that seat will have to go! :-)

Nothing so completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity
himself, than straightforward and simple integrity in another. -Charles
