[AJD] John Deere L/LA

Wed Mar 29 19:51:07 PST 2006

Well, every day you learn something new about these John Deeres.  I've had 
three different tubes.  Thin wall, thick wall and solid.  The thin wall weas 
an LI (1940), the thick wall an L(1943) ant the solid an LA (1946)  Also the 
LA has 24 in" rubber, Ls and LI 22"
