[AJD] Brass fuel valve assembly on Deere H

[Ronald L. Cook]

Bill,
         That stuff will make that fuel valve work as new or better.  I 
have one an an all-fuel "A" that is leaking.  I need to lap that one in 
myself.  Somewhere around here I have a new one that I bought from Deere 20 
years ago for a different tractor, but it is hiding.

I have heard of some 58 to 60 bushel soybeans here, but mostly 45-50 which 
is pretty good.  Corn, is another story.  I have been operating a combine 
in corn for the last couple weeks and have only seen the yield monitor hit 
200 in one field.  It will probably average 180.  The norm seems to be 
around 130-140.  Some poorer farms are having a hard time to get 100.  Dry 
here this year.
