[Ford-ferguson] [AT] Different TO-20

[LaBuba]

 I am not restricted on any of my tractors but I find it just so much easier 
to put my gas can a little higher on something or on the loader and use a 
$3.00 Siphon gizmo I bought at Wal*Mart........ It works great and you don't 
spill a drop. Squeeze the bulb a couple of times and away you go...David.
