[AJD] Latest tractor AOS

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

I didn't really have anything special spare, my AOS was about like yours, didn't
have sheet metal.
It was the 54th made I think or somewhere close to it. It of course went to
Indiana last June with all the others. I suppose it's found a new home. 

I did reproduce the radiator caps if that comes up. Really a very  very odd
looking cap to say the least.

Nice job Chris. Now go back and push on the TD6, it looks cute!
