[AT] Case diesel

[Grant Brians]

My Caterpillar D6C has the same setup with the fuel shutoff past the lowest
regular throttle setting. To be honest I prefer the separate shutoff as it
is too tempting for an inexperienced operator to just shut the engine off
without a cool down time after hard work. Yes, that is not always needed,
but when it is having that momentary needed thought makes it easier to do
the right thing.

Thats where Case had a good idea in making the throttle lever into the
fuel shutoff. I think John Deere had the same in the 1960s. Pull out on
the lever knob to over-ride stop and shut off fuel. Case just had a
little stop on the quadrant that you lifted the lever over to shut the
fuel right off.
