[AJD] D John Deere carb

[Gary Epps]

Dean , Brandon, and Gordon,
The DLTX is cast into the barrel with the 13 stamped on a flat boss to the 
right of the cast letters.  Thus far I have been unable to get the bowl off 
by tapping it.  Next step is to use a razor knife to try to separate the 
bowl from the body.  I picked up a set drill bits and manual from Roberts 
Carb at Portland last year.  May finally get to use them.  I'm heading down 
to the shop now.  I'll let you know how I fare.

Gary
