[Farmall] Final Drive Needed

[Richard Pope]

John:    Thanks much for the information.  I'm hoping that installing the 
correct final drive will solve my problems, but if not, I'll sure take your 
suggestions.  The tractor has new brakes, according to the seller, so I 
should be OK in that respect.  We shall see!
