[AT] Carb problems

[Dick Day]

Thanks. I have been lucky enough to make friends with the David Bradley guru 
of the internet, a chap named Dan O'Connor, from New York.  He was gracious 
enough to send me manuals for both tractors, both implements and both 
engines. He is a walking David Bradley encyclopedia :)

I hope everyone had a safe and blessed Christmas!

Dick
