[AJD] Repair Catalog Illustrations

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

Gary
Safe bet to not entirely trust parts illustrations as at times Deere used a picture of 
one part # to cover all similar parts. That's why the older versions of the parts 
catalogs are great resources to have for research and restoration.
If there's a difference in part #'s you can assume the part itself is different in some 
manner. Sometimes it's not enough to stop the part from being used for several 
applications and other times the parts, though similar, will not interchange at all
