[AT] 4200 steering

[Howard Fleming]

John Deere's 3020 also has the hydraulic steering with no direct 
connection.  As long as the engine is running it works very well.

Problem is if the engine stops, you lose both steering AND brakes. 
(hopefully not going down a long hill pulling 1 or 2 hay wagons... :o0 )

There is a accumulator in the center console that is supposed to keep 
pressure up on the system for such events, but no idea how well (or not) 
it worked.
