[AT] John Deere H

[Tyler Juranek]

Hi Bill,
My grandfather lives 90 miles away from me, so I will have to explain
this to him over the tellephone. I don't know when I will get out
there again to help him with it.
Now that I think about it, that spring makes sense. When he bought the
tractor a year or so ago, that thing took right off. Whether that was
with any choke, I don't know.
Thanks for the info!
Take Care,
Tyler J
