[AT] CONVERTED D14

[Beal Gleason]

I bought a new D14 many years ago and it was always a bearcat to  
start. I complained to the dealer and he said lets just put a 12 v  
bat. and gen. on it. I questioned him on it and he said "It is under  
warrinty and I'm the one who did     it". Well I used that tractor for  
23 years and it was still going strong when I sold it.
